directrix y^2+2x=0

directrix

y^{2} + 2 x = 0

x = \frac{1}{2}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y^{2} + 2 x = 0

in the standard form:

4 (- \frac{1}{2}) (x - 0) = (y - 0)^{2}

(h, k) = (0, 0), p = - \frac{1}{2}

Parabola is symmetric around the x-axis and so the directrix is a line parallel to the y-axis, a distance

- p

from the center

(0, 0)

x-coordinate

x = 0 - p

x = 0 - (- \frac{1}{2})

Refine

x = \frac{1}{2}

y = - (0.009 (x - 220)^{2} - 220)

y = x^{2} - 10 x - 24

y = x^{2} + 2 x - 12

- 2 x^{2} + 24 x + y - 70 = 0

\frac{( 4 x + 5 ) ( 2 x + 3 )}{2}
