10.1 Parabolas.notebook February 25, 2015 Do Now: Write the equation in standard form. Find the center and the radius. Sketch the graph. 3x2 + 3y2 12x + 18y = 9 Definition: A parabola is the set of all points in a plane equidistant from a fixed point F (the focus) and a fixed line l (the directrix) that lie in the plane. Vertex: midpoint between focus and directrix on the axis (the point closest to directrix) Axis: line passing through the focus and vertex (perpendicular to the directrix) 1 10.1 Parabolas.notebook February 25, 2015 To get a formula for a parabola... place the vertex on the origin and call the focus (0, p) We know the distance between P & F and the distance between P & P' must be equal! Standard form with vertex (0, 0): Vertical Axis: Horizontal Axis: where p≠0 where p≠0 focus: (0, p) focus: (p, 0) directrix: y = p directrix: x = p if p > 0 if p > 0 if p < 0 if p < 0 2 10.1 Parabolas.notebook February 25, 2015 Example: Find vertex, focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry.
