Answer to Problem 18WE

The required vertex, focus, directrix and axis of symmetry of the parabola are (0,0),(32,0),x=32 and (y=0) respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The equation of the parabola is 6x+y2=0 .

Formula used: xh=14c(yk)2

Calculation: Rewrite the given equation in to general form of equation,

  6x+y2=0x0=16(y0)2

Now, compare x0=16(y0)2 to equation xh=14c(yk)2 , we get,

  h=0k=0y=ky=014c=164c=6c=32

Now,

The vertex is (h,k)=(0,0)

The focus is (h+c,k)=(32,0)

The directrix is x=hc

  =032x=32

The axis is y=k=0

Now, graph the given parabola,

  Algebra and Trigonometry: Structure and Method, Book 2, Chapter 9.3, Problem 18WE

Interpretation:

The blue curve is the graph of 6x+y2=0 .

The vertex of the parabola is (0,0) .

The red vertical line is the directrix (x=32) .

The black horinzontal line is the axis of symmetry (y=0) .
