Answer:

A function has a root when it crosses the x-axis, i.e. . A function can have more than one root, when there are multiple values for that satisfy this condition. The goal is to find all roots of the function (all values). In general we take the function definition and set to zero and solve the equation for .

Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line. F(–2, 0);

UNO [17]

The line is called the directrix. Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.

Geometry is best done with squared distances. The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is $(x-2)^2.$

We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0):

$(x-2)^2 = (x - -2)^2 + (y - 0)^2$

$x^2 -4x + 4=x^2 +4x +4 + y^2$

$-8x = y^2$

We could call that done. A more standard form might be

$x =- \dfrac 1 8 \ y^2$
