Question

$$y=a { x }^{ 2 } +C$$

Answer

x=sqrt((y-C)/a),-sqrt((y-C)/a)

Solution


Subtract \(C\) from both sides.
\[y-C=a{x}^{2}\]
Divide both sides by \(a\).
\[\frac{y-C}{a}={x}^{2}\]
Take the square root of both sides.
\[\pm \sqrt{\frac{y-C}{a}}=x\]
Switch sides.
\[x=\pm \sqrt{\frac{y-C}{a}}\]
