Find an equation for the conic that satisfies the given conditions. parabola, focus (−8, 0), directrix x = 2

Sagot :

The equation of the given parabola is y2=−20(x+3)

A parabola is a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. The path of a projectile under the influence of gravity ideally follows a curve of this shape.

In general in a parabola, if we have

(y−n)2=4p(x−m),

then the vertex is (m,n)

The axis of symmetry is y=m

The focus is (p+m,n)

The directrix is x=m−p.

Hence, for the given case

p+m=−8

n=0

m−p=2

⇒n=0

m=−3

p=−5

So, the answer will be y2=−20(x+3)
