Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

For the parabola defined by the equation y^2 = 20x, what is the coordinates of the vertex?
  • Step 1: Identify the standard form of the parabola equation. The equation y^2 = 4px is the standard form for a parabola that opens to the right.
  • Step 2: Compare the given equation y^2 = 20x with the standard form y^2 = 4px. Here, 4p = 20.
  • Step 3: Solve for p by dividing both sides of the equation 4p = 20 by 4. This gives p = 5.
  • Step 4: The vertex of the parabola in the standard form y^2 = 4px is at the point (0, 0).
  • Step 5: Therefore, the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola defined by the equation y^2 = 20x are (0, 0).
