If the focus and vertex of a parabola are the points (0, 2) and (0, 4),respectively, then find the equation |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - `x^(2)+8y=32` Focus is (0,2) and vertex is (0,4). so, axis of the parabola is y-axis. Also, parabola is concave downward. Distance between focus and directrix is a=2. `:.` Latus rectum = 4a=8 So, using equation `(x-h)^(2)=4a(y-k)`, equation of parabola is `(x-0)^(2)=-8(y-4)` `or" "x^(2)+8y=32` |
