10-77.
On graph paper, sketch the parabola that is the set of all points equidistant from the focus
Use the definition to write and simplify the equation of the parabola.
The distance from any point on the parabola,
, to the focus is .
The distance from any point on the parabola,, to the directrix is √ . Change the equation of this parabola to shift the graph
units to the right.
