    Parabolas

    Parabolas Things you should already know about a


    parabola.

    Forms of equations
    y = a(x – h)2 + k
    opens up if a is positive
    opens down if a is negative
    vertex is (h, k)

    y = ax2 + bx + c
    opens up if a is positive
    V
    opens down if a is negative
     
    vertex is  
      f

    Thus far in this course we have studied parabolas that are vertical - that is, they
    open up or down and the axis of symmetry is vertical
    A parabola is a set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed
    line, the directrix, and a fixed point, the focus.

    For any point Q that is on the parabola,


    d2 = d 1

    Q d2 Focus

    d1

    Directrix
    In this unit we will also study
    parabolas that are horizontal – that is,
    they open right or left and the axis of
    symmetry is horizontal
    V

    In these equations it is the y-


    variable that is squared.

    x = a(y – k)2 + h
    Standard Form Equation of a Parabola

    (y – k)2 = 4p(x – h) (x – h)2 = 4p(y – k)

    Horizontal Vertical
    Parabola Parabola

    Vertex: (h, k) Vertex: (h, k)

    If 4p > 0, opens right If 4p > 0, opens up

    If 4p < 0, opens left If 4p < 0, opens down

    The directrix is vertical the The directrix is horizontal and


    vertex is midway between the vertex is midway between
    the focus and directrix the focus and directrix

    Remember: |p| is the distance from the vertex to the focus


    Our parabola may have horizontal and/or vertical transformations.
    This would translate the vertex from the origin to some other place.
    The equations for these parabolas are the same but h is the horizontal
    shift and k the vertical shift:
    The vertex will be at (h, k)

    1. (y + 3)2 = 4(x + 1) Graphing a Parabola

    Find the vertex, focus and directrix. Then sketch the graph of the
    parabola
    Why? The y-term is being squared.
    (–1, –3)
    Vertex: __________ y The 4 is positive.
    horizontal
    The parabola is ________________
    right
    and opens to the ________.

    Find p. 4p = 4
    x
    p=1
    V
    F
    (0, –3)
    Focus: ___________

    x = –2
    Directrix:___________
    2. Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola given:
    the focus is (2, 4) and the directrix is x = – 4
    vertex is midway between the ________
    The ____________ focus directrix
    and ___________,

    vertex is _________.
    (–1, 4) y
    so the __________

    vertical so
    The directrix is ______________
    horizontal
    the parabola must be ___________ V
    and since the focus is always inside
    the parabola, it must open to the ________.
    right
    x
    Equation: (y – k)2 = 4p(x – h)
    |p| = 3 4(3) = 12
    Equation:
    (y – __)
    4 2 = ___(x
    12 – ___)
    1
    3. Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola given:
    the vertex is (2, –3) and focus is (2, –5)

    Because of the location of the vertex and focus this must be


    vertical parabola that
    a ___________
    y
    down
    opens _______.
    Equation: (x – h)2 = 4p(y – k)
    |p| = 2 x
    Equation: 4(2) = 8 V

    (x – __)
    2 2 = ___(y
    –8 – ___)
    3
    The vertex is midway between F

    the focus and directrix, so the


    y = –1
    directrix for this parabola is _________.
    4. The equation we are given may not be in standard form and we'll
    have to do some algebraic manipulation to get it that way. (you did
    this with circles).
    Since y is squared, we'll complete the
    square on the y's and get the x term to
    other side.

    1 1
    must add to this side too to keep equation =
    middle coefficient divided by 2 and squared

    Now we have it in standard form we can


    find the vertex, focus, directrix and
    graph.
