Need help to find the equation of the directrix and the coordinates of the focus.
(a) Sketch y= x²+2x-8, showing intercepts and the minimum point.
(b) Find the coordinates of the focus and the equation of the directrix of the parabola.
Part a done, giving (-1, -9) as the minimum which is...
The latus rectum of a parabola has endpoints (-2, 3) and (6, 3). Find two possible equations for the parabola.
All I've done is found the equation of the latus rectum, which is y = 3. I'm not sure what to do next.
Answers are:
x²-4x-8y+12= 0 and x²-4x+8y-36= 0
