The equation of the parabola with focus ...

The equation of the parabola with focus (3, 0) and directrix y = -3 is

A

`y^(2)=12x`

B

`y^(2)=-12x`

C

`x^(2)=12y`

D

`x^(2)=-12y`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Let p (x, y) be any point on the parabola. Then, `sqrt((x-3)^(2)+(y+0)^(2))=|(x+3)/(sqrt(1+0))|" [Using SP= PM]"`
`rArr" "(x-3)^(2)+y^(2)=(x+3)^(2)rArry^(2)=12x`
