Chapter 9: Q. 26 (page 772)

Use Cartesian coordinates to express the equations for the parabolas determined by the conditions specified in Exercises 22鈥�31.
$directrix x = x_{0}, focus (x_{1}, y_{1}), where x_{0} 鈮� x_{1}$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equation is ${(y_{1} - y)}^{2} = - 2 x (x_{0} - x_{1}) + x_{0}^{2} - x_{1}^{2} .$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

The given values are:

$directrix x = x_{0}, focus (x_{1}, y_{1}), where x_{0} 鈮� x_{1}$

Step 2. Distance formula.

Let any point on the parabola be $(x, y)$

Co-ordinates of the focus is $(x_{1}, y_{1})$

The distance between the point and the focus is,

$Distance = \sqrt{{(x_{1} - x)}^{2} + {(y_{1} - y)}^{2}} [since x_{1} = x, y_{1} = y, x_{2} = x_{1}, y_{2} = y_{1}] Now the distance between the point and the directrix is |x - x_{0}| . T h e r e f o r e, \sqrt{{(x_{1} - x)}^{2} + {(y_{1} - y)}^{2}} = |x - x_{0}|$

Step 3. Final answer.

On simplifying the equation,

${(\sqrt{{(x_{1} - x)}^{3} + {(y_{1} - y)}^{3}})}^{2} = {(|x - x_{0}|)}^{2} {(x_{1} - x)}^{2} + {(y_{1} - y)}^{2} = {(x - x_{0})}^{2} x_{1}^{2} - 2 x x_{1} + x^{2} + {(y_{1} - y)}^{2} = x^{2} - 2 x x_{0} + x_{0}^{2} x_{1}^{2} - 2 x x_{1} + {(y_{1} - y)}^{2} = - 2 x x_{0} + x_{0}^{2} x_{1}^{2} - 2 x x_{1} + {(y_{1} - y)}^{2} - x_{1}^{2} + 2 x x_{1} = - 2 x x_{0} + x_{0}^{2} - x_{1}^{2} + 2 x x_{1} {(y_{1} - y)}^{2} = - 2 x x_{0} + 2 x x_{1} + x_{0}^{2} - x_{1}^{2} {(y_{1} - y)}^{2} = - 2 x (x_{0} - x_{1}) + x_{0}^{2} - x_{1}^{2}$
