Exercise 4
Find the vertex, focus, and directrix, and graph
a parabola by first completing the square, given a quadratic equation.
| Given Equation |
Vertex |
Focus |
Directrix |
| x2 = 2x = 6y - 11 = 0 |
|
|
|
| 5y2 + 10y + 2x + 2 = 0 |
|
|
|
| 4y2 + 4y - 4x - 16 = 0 |
|
|
|
| 4y2 - 4y - 4x + 24 = 0 |
|
|
|
| y = x2 + 4x + 3 |
|
|
|
| y = x2 + 6x + 10 |
|
|
|
| x2 - 4x - 2y = 0 |
|
|
|
| x2 - y - 2 = 0 |
|
|
|
| x2 + 2x + 2y + 7 = 0 |
