Question

Rewrite the given equation in standard form.

y= 1/12x^2

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

To rewrite this expression in standard form, you want to isolate the squared term of x^2.

In this case that means multiplying both sides of the equation by 12 in order to simplify

y = 1/12 x^2

12y = x^2

The standard form for the given expression is x^2 = 12y

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

12 * x^2 * y = 1
