COMEDK · Maths · 13. Parabola

If \((0,6)\) and \((0,3)\) are respectively the vertex and focus of a parabola, then its equation is

  1. A \(x^{2}+12 y=72\)
  2. B \(x^{2}-12 y=72\)
  3. C \(y^{2}-12 x=72\)
  4. D \(y^{2}+12 x=72\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x^{2}+12 y=72\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The vertex and focus of the parabola are \((0,6)\) and \((0,3)\) respectively. Clearly, axis is \(Y\)-axis. \(\therefore\) Latusrectum \(=4\) (Distance between vertex and focus) \[ =4 \sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(6-3)^{2}}=12 \] Also, the vertex is on the right hand side of the focus, so…
