검증된 단계별 안내

Recognize the given equation \(x = 16y^{2}\) as a conic section. Since it is quadratic in \(y\) and linear in \(x\), this represents a parabola that opens either to the right or left.

Rewrite the equation in a standard form to identify the vertex and orientation. Here, \(x = 16y^{2}\) can be seen as \(x = 4p y^{2}\), where \(4p = 16\), so \(p = 4\). This means the parabola opens to the right with vertex at the origin \((0,0)\).

Identify the vertex of the parabola at \((0,0)\), since there are no additional terms shifting the graph horizontally or vertically.

Plot the vertex and use the value of \(p=4\) to find the focus at \((p,0) = (4,0)\) and the directrix at \(x = -p = -4\). These help in accurately sketching the parabola.

Draw the parabola opening to the right, symmetric about the \(x\)-axis, passing through points such as \((16,1)\) and \((16,-1)\) (found by substituting \(y=1\) and \(y=-1\) into the equation) to ensure accuracy.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Conic Sections

Conic sections are curves obtained by intersecting a plane with a double-napped cone. They include parabolas, ellipses, circles, and hyperbolas. Understanding the general forms and properties of these curves helps in identifying and graphing them accurately.

Parabola and Its Standard Form

A parabola is a conic section defined as the set of points equidistant from a fixed point (focus) and a line (directrix). The equation x = 16y² represents a parabola opening along the x-axis. Recognizing this form aids in determining its orientation and vertex.

Graphing Techniques for Parabolas

Graphing a parabola involves identifying its vertex, axis of symmetry, direction of opening, and key points. For x = 16y², the vertex is at the origin, and the parabola opens rightward. Plotting points by substituting y-values helps create an accurate graph.
