Question

Use a graphing device to graph the parabola.

$x^2=16y$

Short answer

The graph of parabola $x^2=16y$is

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information.

The given equation of a parabola $x^2=16y$.

Step 2. Write the concept.

The given equation of a parabola $x^2=16y$

Putting the equation in standard form $x^2=4ay$

Thus we get, $x^2=16y$

$x=\pm 4\sqrt{y}$

Graphing both the equations $\begin{array}{l}x=4\sqrt{y}\\ x=-4\sqrt{y}\end{array}$to obtain the graph of the parabola.
