Chapter 10: Q. 38 (page 644)

Find the vertex, focus, and directrix of each parabola. Graph the equation by hand. Verify your graph using a graphing utility.

y2=8x

Short Answer

Expert verified

The vertex is 0,0focus is 2,0and directrix is x=-2. The graph of the given equation is shown below .

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information .

Consider the given equationy2=8x.

02

Step 2. Analyze the equation .

The standard form of parabola is y2=4ax.

Compare the equation with standard form.

y2=4axy2=8x4a=8a=2

Further simplify .

Since a=2the vertex is 0,0,the focus is a,0=2,0and the directrix isx=-a,x=-2

03

Step[ 3. Plot the graph .

The graph of the equation y2=8xusing graphing utility is shown below .

Here V is the vertex , F is the focus and line x=-2represents the directrix of the parabola .

Semi elliptical Arch Bridge The arch of a bridge is a semi ellipse with a horizontal major axis. The span is 30feet, and the top of the arch is 10feet above the major axis. The roadway is horizontal and is 2feet above the top of the arch. Find the vertical distance from the roadway to the arch at 5-foot intervals along the roadway.

Parabolic Arch Bridge - A bridge is built in the shape of a parabolic arch. The bridge has a span of 120 feet and a maximum height of 25 feet. See the illustration. Choose a suitable rectangular coordinate system and find the height of the arch at distances of 10, 30, and 50 feet from the center.

Searchlight - A searchlight is shaped like a paraboloid of

Uniform Motion A Cessna (heading south at 120 mph) and a Boeing 747 (heading west at 600 mph) are flying toward the same point at the same altitude. The Cessna is 100 miles from the point where the flight patterns intersect, and the 747 is 550 miles from this intersection point. See the figure.

(a) Find parametric equations that model the motion of the Cessna and the 747.

(b) Find a formula for the distance between the planes as a function of time.

(c) Graph the function in part (b) using a graphing utility.

(d) What is the minimum distance between the planes? When are the planes closest?

(e) Simulate the motion of the planes by simultaneously graphing the equations found in part (a).
