Answer to Problem 39E
The equation of parabola is
Explanation of Solution
The equation of parabola is
Given information:
Vertex
Opens upward with focus
Calculation:because it is given that the graph of the parabola opens upwards, so the parabola should be with vertical axis and
So the equation of parabola should be in the following form,
The focus of parabola with vertical axis is
The focus of parabola is
So,
So the equation of parabola is,
Hence, the equation of parabola is
