The parabola x2 = ay is symmetric about ...

Q.	The parabola x2 = ay is symmetric about x- axis.
A.	true
B.	false
Answer» B. false
Explanation: from the given parabolic equation x2 = ay we can easily say if we give y values to that equation we get two values for x so the given parabola is symmetric about y-axis. if the equation is y2 = ax then it is symmetric about x-axis.
