Use the given equation of a parabola to answer the questions. (x+ 2)? = 3 (y+ 4) What is the standard form of the equation? O a+ 2)? = y +4 O (x + 2)? = 3y +12 O (2x + 2)? = 3 (y + 4) O (x + 2)? – 3 (y + 4) = 0 Which statement best describes the parabola? The axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis, the vertex is (–2, –4), and the parabola opens up. The axis of symmetry is parallel to the x-axis, the vertex is (–4, –2), and the parabola opens down. The axis of symmetry is parallel to the x-axis, the vertex is (-4, –2), and the parabola opens to the right.

Have you ever seen a bridge in the shape of a parabola? Where is its maximum on the bridge? The maximum of that bridge is the highest point on that bridge. The process of finding the maximum of the bridge here is called the maximization.
