Q.4 Find the standard equation of the parabola with focus F (5, 1) and vertex
V (6, 1), then sketch it.

Solution :

From the position of the focus and the vertex the parabola opens to the
left.

The equation of the parabola has the form (y − k)2 = −4a(x − h)

The vertex is V (6, 1), hence h = 6, k = 1.

”a” is the distance between V and F , hence a = 1.

The standard equation of the parabola is (y − 1)2 = −4(x − 6)

The equation of the directrix is x = 7.

y 2 + 10y − 4x2 + 8x = −17

y 2 + 10y − 4(x2 − 2x) = −17

By completing the square.

(y 2 + 10y + 25) − 4(x2 − 2x + 1) = −17 + 25 − 4
