Find the equation of the parabola that satisfies the following condition:
Focus (6, 0); directrix x = –6
उत्तर
Focus (6, 0); directrix, x = –6
Since the focus lies on the x-axis, the x-axis is the axis of the parabola.
Therefore, the equation of the parabola is either of the form y2 = 4ax or
y2 = – 4ax.
It is also seen that the directrix, x = –6 is to the left of the y-axis, while the focus (6, 0) is to the right of the y-axis. Hence, the parabola is of the form y2 = 4ax.
Here, a = 6
Thus, the equation of the parabola is y2 = 24x.
