of length 12 units?
1. (y + 3)2 = - 12 (x - 5)
What is the equation of the parabola that opens downward with vertex at (4, - 2) and latus rectum
of length 8 units?
1. (x - 4)2 = - 8(y + 2)
Find the parabola/s whose axis is parallel to the y - axis and whose vertex is the point (3, 7) and
latus rectum of length 10 units.
1. (50%)
(x - 3)2 = 10(y - 7)
2. (50%)
(x - 3)2 = -10(y - 7)

2. x2 - 4x - 3y - 7 = 0
A point moves such that its distance to the point (4, 6) is equal to its distance from the line y = 2. Which of the following statements are true?

hint!!!
1. (25%)
the parabola opens upward.
2. (25%)
the vertex of the parabola is the point (4, 2)
5. (25%)
the distance between the vertex and the focus of the parabola is 4 units.
7. (25%)
the equation of the parabola is (x - 4)2 = 16(y - 2)
If a parabola has a horizontal axis, then the y-coordinates of the focus and the vertex are the
same.
Answer? True
