Q. Find the equation of the parabola with focus at (0, -3) and directrix y = 3.
A.
x^2 = -12y
B.
x^2 = 12y
C.
y^2 = -12x
D.
y^2 = 12x
Show solution
Solution
The distance from the focus to the directrix is 6, so p = -3. The equation is x^2 = 4py, which gives x^2 = -12y.
Correct Answer:
A
— x^2 = -12y

Q. Find the equation of the parabola with focus at (0, 2) and directrix y = -2.
A.
x^2 = 8y
B.
y^2 = 8x
C.
y^2 = -8x
D.
x^2 = -8y
Show solution
Solution
The vertex is at (0, 0) and p = 2. The equation is y^2 = 4px, which gives y^2 = 8x.

Q. Find the equation of the parabola with vertex at (2, 3) and focus at (2, 5).
A.
y = (1/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3
B.
y = (1/4)(x - 2)^2 - 3
C.
y = (1/4)(x + 2)^2 + 3
D.
y = (1/4)(x + 2)^2 - 3
Show solution
Solution
The vertex form of a parabola is given by (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k). Here, h = 2, k = 3, and p = 1 (distance from vertex to focus). Thus, the equation is (x - 2)^2 = 4(1)(y - 3) or y = (1/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3.
Correct Answer:
A
— y = (1/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3

Q. Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve y = x^2 + 2x at the point where x = 1.
A.
y = 3x - 2
B.
y = 2x + 1
C.
y = 2x + 2
D.
y = x + 3
Show solution
Solution
f'(x) = 2x + 2. At x = 1, f'(1) = 4. The point is (1, 3). The tangent line is y - 3 = 4(x - 1) => y = 4x - 1.
Correct Answer:
A
— y = 3x - 2
