1) Write an equation of a parabola with a vertex at the origin and a focus at (-2,0)?
..
Standard form of parabola: (y-k)^2=-4p(x-h), with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex. This parabola opens leftwards and has a horizontal axis of symmetry.
For given problem:
Axis of symmetry = x-axis or y=0
p=distance from vertex to focus on axis of symmetry=2
center (0, 0)
Equation:
y^2=-8x
See graph below as a visual check on the equation
..
y=(-8x)^.5
