The focal distance of a point of a parabola `y^(2)=8x` is 5. Find the abscissa of that point.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the abscissa (x-coordinate) of a point on the parabola \( y^2 = 8x \) given that the focal distance of that point is 5. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Parameters of the Parabola**: The given parabola is \( y^2 = 8x \). We can compare this with the standard form of a parabola \( y^2 = 4ax \). - Here, \( 4a = 8 \) implies \( a = 2 \). ...
