Answer to Problem 1RE
The vertex of the parabola
The focus of the parabola
The directrix of the parabola
Explanation of Solution
Definitions used:
The standard equation of a parabola with vertex
Calculation:
Rewrite the equation
This equation is in the form of
So, the given equation is parabola.
Therefore, the vertex of the parabola
Compare
Here, the value of a is 4.
Therefore, the focus of the parabola
As
Thus, the directrix of the parabola
Therefore, the vertex of the parabola
