Find the vertex focus and directrix of the parabola with equ
Find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola with equation: x = 2y^2, and sketch its graph.
Solution
x=2y2
x=2(y-0)2 + 0
This equation is of the form
x=a(y-k)2+h
Where vertex(h,k)=(0,0)
a=1/4p=2
p=1/8
focus=(h+p,k) = (1/8,0)
Directrix ,x=h-p
x=-1/8
