Exercise 2
For each given equation of a parabola, find the vertex,
focus, and directrix. Then on a separate sheet of paper, sketch the graph
of the parabola.
| Given Equation |
Vertex |
Focus |
Directrix (in y = __ form) |
| (x + 2)2 = -6 (y - 1) |
|
|
|
| (y - 3)2 = -20 (x + 2) |
|
|
|
| (x - 1)2 - 2 (y + 1) = 0 |
|
|
|
| (y + 1)2 = 12x |
|
|
|
| (x + 3)2 = - y |
|
|
|
| (y - 4)2 = 32 (x + 1) |
|
|
|
| (x - 7)2 = -18 (y - 3) |
|
|
|
| 0 = (y - 1)2 - 16 (x + 4) |
|
|
|
| y = x2 |
|
|
|
| x = y2 |
