The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem for the parabola given by the equation \( y^2 + 4x - 6y + 13 = 0 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearranging the Equation Start by rearranging the equation into a standard form. We can group the \( y \) terms together and isolate \( x \): \[ y^2 - 6y + 4x + 13 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Completing the Square Next, we will complete the square for the \( y \) terms. The expression \( y^2 - 6y \) can be rewritten by adding and subtracting \( 9 \) (which is \( \left(\frac{6}{2}\right)^2 \)): \[ (y^2 - 6y + 9) + 4x + 4 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ (y - 3)^2 + 4x + 4 = 0 \] Rearranging gives us: \[ (y - 3)^2 = -4(x + 1) \] ### Step 3: Identifying the Standard Form Now, we can identify the standard form of the parabola. The equation \( (y - k)^2 = -4a(x - h) \) indicates that the vertex is at \( (h, k) \). Here, we have: - \( h = -1 \) - \( k = 3 \) - \( 4a = 4 \) which gives \( a = 1 \) ### Step 4: Finding the Vertex The vertex of the parabola is given by the coordinates \( (h, k) \): \[ \text{Vertex} = (-1, 3) \] ### Step 5: Finding the Focus The focus of the parabola is located at \( (h - a, k) \): \[ \text{Focus} = (-1 - 1, 3) = (-2, 3) \] ### Step 6: Finding the Directrix The directrix is a vertical line given by \( x = h + a \): \[ \text{Directrix} = x = -1 + 1 = 0 \] ### Step 7: Finding the Length of the Latus Rectum The length of the latus rectum is given by \( 4a \): \[ \text{Length of Latus Rectum} = 4 \times 1 = 4 \] ### Summary of Results - **Vertex**: \((-1, 3)\) - **Focus**: \((-2, 3)\) - **Directrix**: \(x = 0\) - **Length of Latus Rectum**: \(4\)
