2  Parabola: set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a fixed line & a fixed point not on the line  Focus: that fixed point; lies on the axis of symmetry  Directix: that fixed line; perpendicular to the axis of symmetry  Vertex: lies halfway between the focus & directix

3  In chapter 5, all parabolas opened up or down with a vertical axis of symmetry  Look at bottom of page 595 togeter

4 EquationFocusDirectixAxis of Sym.Opens VerticalUp or Down Horiz.Left or Right

5  Identify the focus & directix of the parabola given by. Draw the parabola  Write the equation of the parabola show  HW: p598-599 #16-37all, 38-76even
