To solve the problem of finding the coordinates of the focus, the equation of the directrix, and the latus rectum of the parabola given by the equation \( y^2 = 20x \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the standard form of the parabola The given equation of the parabola is \( y^2 = 20x \). The standard form of a parabola that opens to the right is given by \( y^2 = 4ax \). ### Step 2: Compare the given equation with the standard form From the equation \( y^2 = 20x \), we can compare it with the standard form \( y^2 = 4ax \). Here, we have: \[ ...
