Ke Vocabular focus directri parabola, p. 236 verte, p. 236 You know that the graph of 5 a 2 is a parabola that opens up or down with verte (0, 0) and ais of smmetr 5 0. On an parabola, each point is equidistant from a point called the focus and a line called the directri. The focus lies on the ais of smmetr. ais of smmetr The verte lies halfwa between the focus and the directri. The directri is perpendicular to the ais of smmetr. The equation of a parabola that opens up or down and has verte (0, 0) can also be written in the form 2 5 4p. Parabolas can open left or right as well, in which case the equation has the form 2 5 4p when the verte is (0, 0). Note below that for an parabola, the focus and directri each lie p units from the verte. verte: (0, 0) (0, p) directri: 5 2p verte: (0, 0) directri: 5 2p (0, p) 2 5 4p, p > 0 2 5 4p, p < 0 IDENTIFY FUNCTIONS Notice that parabolas that open left or right do not represent functions. directri: 5 2p verte: (0, 0) (p, 0) (p, 0) directri: 5 2p verte: (0, 0) 2 5 4p, p > 0 2 5 4p, p < 0 620 Chapter 9 Quadratic Relations and Conic Sections

Incoming sound, light, or other energ that arrives at a parabolic reflector parallel to the ais of smmetr is directed to the focus (Diagram ). Similarl, energ that is emitted from the focus of a parabolic reflector and then strikes the reflector is directed parallel to the ais of smmetr (Diagram 2).

Solution STEP Write an equation for the cross section. The engine is at the focus, which is p 5 4.5 meters from the verte. Because the focus is above the verte, p is positive, so p 5 4.5.
