What are the endpoints of the latus rectum of the parabola? (y+3)2=(y+3)2
Added by Gloria M.
Step 1
Since both sides of the equation are equal, we can rewrite the equation as: (y+3)^2 - (y+3)^2 = 0 0 = 0 This equation is always true, which means that the graph of this equation is not a parabola. Show more…
