$x = (y - 3)^2 + 41$ is in the vertex form.

The vertex form for a parabola that opens to the left or right is:

$x = 1/(4f)(y-k)^2+h" [1]"$

where $(h,k)$ is the vertex and $f = y_"focus"-k$ .

The given equation

$x = (y - 3)^2 + 41$

is already in the form of equation [1] where $(h,k) = (41,3) and f = 1/4$ .
