Answer:
(2, 11/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a vertical parabola; we know that because x is squared here, while y is not. The standard equation of a vertical parabola with vertex (h,k) is
4p(y-k) = (x-h)^2, where p is the distance between the vertex and the focus. Comparing
4p(y-k) = (x-h)^2 to
10(y-3) = (x-2)^2, we see that 4p = 10. Therefore, p = 10/4 = 5/2, which is the vertical distance between the focus and the vertex.
Since the coordinates of the vertex are easily read from the given equation
(x-2)^2=10(y-3): (h,k) = (2, 3)
all we need to do is to add p (5/2) to the y-coordinate (3);
The focus is at (2, 3 + 5/2), or (2, 11/2).
