The equation of a parabola with a directrix at y = -3 and a focus at (5 , 3) is y = one twelfth (x - 5)² ⇒ 1st answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of the equation of the parabola is (x - h)² = 4p(y - k), where
- The vertex of the parabola is (h , k)
- The focus is (h , k + p)
- The directrix is at y = k - p
∵ The focus of the parabola is at (5 , 3)
- Compare it with the 2nd rule above
∴ h = 5
∴ k + p = 3 ⇒ (1)
∵ The directrix is at y = -3
- By using the 3rd rule above
∴ k - p = -3 ⇒ (2)
Solve the system of equations to find k and p
Add equations (1) and (2) to eliminate p
∴ 2k = 0
- Divide both sides by 2
∴ k = 0
- Substitute the value of k in equation (1) to find p
∵ 0 + p = 3
∴ p = 3
Substitute the values of h , k , and p in the form of the equation above
∵ (x - 5)² = 4(3)(y - 0)
∴ (x - 5)² = 12 y
- Divide both sides by 12
∴ (x - 5)² = y
- Switch the two sides
∴ y = (x - 5)²
The equation of a parabola with a directrix at y = -3 and a focus at (5 , 3) is y = (x - 5)²
