Answer to Problem 36SGA
The equation of parabola is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The parabola passes through a point
Sine, the parabola opens to the left therefore the equation of the parabola lies on x-axis and of the form,
Here,
Substitute these values in the given formula,
Use the standard form of the parabola when the symmetry of axis is x-axis. The equation of the parabola is,
Therefore, the equation of parabola is
