Question : 26
Total: 71
Vertex (0, 0), passing through (2, 3) and axis is along x-axis.
Solution:
Since the vertex of the parabola is at (0, 0) and the axis is along x-axis.
∴ The equation of the parabola is of the formy 2 = 4ax
Since the parabola passes through point (2, 3)
∴( 3 ) 2 = 4a × 2 = 9 = 8a ⇒ a =
The required equation of parabola is
y 2 =
x ⇒ y 2 =
x ⇒ 2 y 2 = 9x.
∴ The equation of the parabola is of the form
Since the parabola passes through point (2, 3)
∴
The required equation of parabola is
