Example 8 Find Equation Of Parabola Symmetric About Y Axis
If the parabola is rotatedso that its vertex is (h,k) and its axis of symmetry is parallel to thexaxis, it has an equation of (y k)2= 4p (x h), where thefocus is (h p, k) and the directrix is x = h p It would also be in our best interest to cover another form that theequation of aIt has both Q Given y = 2 (x 5) 6, the vertex is Q Given 1/2 (x 4) 5, the equation of the axis of symmetry is Q A parabola has a vertex at (3,2)
