Equations of Parabolas
Example 1
Write an equation of the parabola with the given focus and directrix.
1. focus (0, –7), directrix y = 7 2. focus (0, –6), directrix y = 6

3. focus (0, 6), directrix y = –6 4. focus (0, –3), directrix y = 3

5. focus (0, 5), directrix y = –5 6. focus (0, 7), directrix y = –7

7. focus (0, 9), directrix y = –9 8. focus (0, –8), directrix y = 8

Example 2
Write an equation of the parabola with the given focus and directrix.
9. focus (1, 3), directrix y = –2

10. focus (5, 0), directrix y = 4

11. focus (4, 3), directrix y = –5

12. USE A MODEL A sculpture includes a section that can modeled by an inverted
parabola with the focus at (0, 175) and the directrix at y = 225.
a. Write an equation for the parabola.

b. If each unit represents a centimeter, what is the width of the parabolic part
of the statue at ground level where y = 0? Round your answer to the nearest
centimeter.

13. USE A MODEL A satellite dish can be modeled by a parabola with the focus at
(0, 110) and the directrix at y = 90.
a. Write an equation for the parabola.

b. If each unit represents a centimeter, what is the width of the satellite dish at
the level of its focus, y = 110? Round your answer to the nearest centimeter.

14. USE A MODEL A water fountain in a pool of water outside a museum emits a
jet of water that forms the shape of a parabola. It can be modeled by a parabola
with the focus at (0, 2) and the directrix at y = 3.
a. Write an equation for the parabola.

b. If each unit represents a meter, what is the width of the water jet at the
surface of the pool where y = 0? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a
meter.

Example 3
Find the point(s) of intersection, if any, between each parabola and line with the
given equations.
15. y = 2x2, y = –2x + 12 16. y = 3x2, y = 6x + 24

17. y = –x2, y = x + 3 18. y = (x – 2)2, y = x + 4

19. y = –(x + 3)2, y = –x – 5 20. y = (x + 2)2, y = –x
