    Parabola: Abdul Syukur Bahaman Naqib Harun Muhd Zaki Abd Bahari Mohd Musthaqim Shafiee

    Abdul Syukur Bahaman
    This document defines a parabola and provides standard form equations for parabolas with vertices at the origin that open upwards, downwards, to the right, or to the left. It explains how to derive the standard form equation x^2 = 4py from the definition of a parabola using the distance formula. An example shows how to sketch a parabola with a given focus and directrix and write its equation. It also describes how to shift the vertex of a parabola from the origin to another point (h,k) by replacing x with (x - h) and y with (y - k) in the standard form equation.

    Definition
    a set that consists of all the points in a plane
    equidistant from a given fixed point and a
    given fixed line in the plane is a parabola. The
    fixed point is the focus of the parabola. The
    fixed line is the directrix
    Standard-form equations for parabolas
    with vertices at the origin (p>0)
    EQUATION FOCUS DIRECTRIX AXIS OPENS
    x = 4py (0,p) y = - p y-axis Upwards
    x = - 4py (0,-p) y = p y-axis Downwards
    y = 4px (p,0) x = - p x-axis To the right
    y = - 4px (-p,0) x = p x-axis To the left

    Adding to our diagram from above,
    we see that the distance d = y + p.
    Now, using the distance formula on
    the general points (0, p) and (x, y), and
    equating it to our value d = y + p, we
    have
    Squaring both sides gives:
    (x 0)
    2
    + (y p)
    2
    = (y + p)
    2

    Simplifying gives us the formula for a parabola:
    x
    2
    = 4py
    In more familiar form, with "y = " on the left, we
    can write this as:

    where p is the focal distance of the parabola.

    Example - Parabola with Horizontal Axis
    Sketch the curve and find the equation of the
    parabola with focus (-2,0) and directrix x = 2.

    After sketching, we can see that the equation
    required is in the following form, since we
    have a horizontal axis:
    y
    2
    = 4px
    Since p = -2 (from the question), we can
    directly write the equation of the parabola:
    y
    2
    = -8x

    Shifting the Vertex of a Parabola from
    the Origin

    This is a similar concept to the case when we
    shifted the centre of a circle from the origin.
    To shift the vertex of a parabola from (0, 0) to
    (h, k), each x in the equation becomes (x h)
    and each y becomes (y k).
    So if the axis of a parabola is vertical, and the
    vertex is at (h, k), we have
    (x h)
    2
    = 4p(y k)

    If the axis of a parabola is horizontal, and the
    vertex is at (h, k), the equation becomes
    (y k)
    2
    = 4p(x h)
