Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(-3, \frac{11}{2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & (x+3)^2=2(y-5) \\ & \therefore \quad \text {Vertex }=(-3,5), a=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \therefore \text {Focus }(s)=\left(-3,5+\frac{1}{2}\right)=\left(-3, \frac{11}{2}\right) \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (b) is correct.
