Find the equation of the parabola that satisfies the following condition:
Vertex (0, 0), passing through (5, 2) and symmetric with respect to y-axis.
उत्तर
Since the vertex is (0, 0) and the parabola is symmetric about the y-axis, the equation of the parabola is either of the form x2 = 4ay or x2 = –4ay.
The parabola passes through point (5, 2), which lies in the first quadrant.
Therefore, the equation of the parabola is of the form x2 = 4ay, while point (5, 2) must satisfy the equation x2 = 4ay.
∴ (5)2 = 4 × a × 2 = 25 = 8a = a = `25/8`
Thus, the equation of the parabola is
x2 = `4 (25/8)y`
2x2 = 25y
