Determine the Two Equations Necessary to Graph the Horizontal Parabola $x - 2 = ( y - 8 ) ^ { 2 }$

question 182

Multiple Choice

Determine the two equations necessary to graph the horizontal parabola using a graphing calculator.
- $x - 2 = ( y - 8 ) ^ { 2 }$

• A) \(y = \sqrt { x - 2 } + 8\) and \(y = 8 - \sqrt { x - 2 }\)
• B) \(y = \sqrt { x - 2 } + 8\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x + 2 } - 8\)
• C) \(y = \sqrt { x - 2 } + 8\) and \(y = 8 - \sqrt { x + 2 }\)
• D) \(y = \sqrt { x + 62 }\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x - 66 }\)
