1 Advanced Geometry Conic Sections Lesson 3
Parabolas

2 Axis of Symmetry Definition – the set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point, called the focus, and a given line called the directrix F p V p Directrix

3 Equation of a Parabola Vertex Focus Axis of Symmetry Directrix
Horizontal Axis Vertical Axis of Symmetry of Symmetry Equation of a Parabola Vertex Focus Axis of Symmetry Directrix Direction of Opening

4 Example: For the equation of each parabola, find the coordinates of the vertex and focus, the equations of the directrix and axis of symmetry. Then graph the equation.

5 Example: For the equation of each parabola, find the coordinates of the vertex and focus, the equations of the directrix and axis of symmetry. Then graph the equation.

6 Example: Using the graph below, write the equation for the parabola.

7 Example: Using the graph below, write the equation for the parabola.

8 The vertex is (-4, 5), the parabola opens to the left,
Example: Write the equation of the parabola that meets each set of conditions. The vertex is (-4, 5), the parabola opens to the left, and the focus is 5 units from the vertex.

9 The parabola has a focus of and a minimum point at (-1, -1).
Example: Write the equation of the parabola that meets each set of conditions. The parabola has a focus of and a minimum point at (-1, -1).

10 Example: Solve for x.
