For the following parabola find the coordinates of the foci, the equation of the directrix and the lengths of the latus rectum: `y^2=8x`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equation of parabola is,
`y^2 = 8x`
Comparing it with standard equation, `y^2 = 4ax`
We get, `a = 2`.
As coefficient of `x` is `8` that is positive.
`:.` Given parabola will be open with x-direction.
Focus of parabola `= (a,0) = (2,0)`
