Answer:
The equation of the parabola ( y +3)² = 4 ( x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
we know that the focus of the parabola (h + a , k ) and directrix is x = h - a
Given
focus of the parabola (h + a , k ) = ( 4, -3 )
Equating h + a =4 ..(i)
and k =-3
Given directrix is x = 2
h - a =2 ..(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii) equations , we get
h + a + h-a = 4+2
2 h = 6
h =3
substitute h=3 in equation (i)
h + a =4
3 + a =4
a = 1
The length of Latus rectum 4a = 4(1) =4
Step(ii):-
The vertex ( h, k) = ( 3 , -3) and a = 1>0
Given directrix is x = h - a = 2 so the parabola axis is lie on X- axis and symmetric about x-axis
The equation of the parabola
( y - k )² = 4 a ( x - h )
( y - (-3))²= 4(1) ( x - 3 )
The equation of the parabola ( y +3)² = 4 ( x-3)
