Algebra.Com's Answer #678380 by josgarithmetic(39620)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You should be able to determine the directrix because you are given the vertex and focus. Use the definition for a parabola and the Distance Formula to derive the equation for the parabola.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Deriving equation for parabola given focus and directrix, using definition of Parabola\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Same thing, in case vertex not at the origin, and differently oriented \n" ); document.write( " |
