*Right handed or left handed parabola

A quadratic of the form x = ay² + by + c represents an right handed or a left handed parabola, it can also be expressed by the following function

(y – v)² = L (x – u)

Here (u, v) represent coordinates of vertex (V) of a parabola. L= +ve for right handed parabola &

L = – ve for a left handed parabola.
