Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((3,4),(-13,4)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of parabola is \[ x^{2}+10 x-16 y+25=0 \] It can be rewritten as \[ (x+5)^{2}=16 y \] Here \(a=4\) and vertex \(\equiv(-5,0)\) and focus \(=(-5,4)\) So, \(y\)-coordinate of ends of latusrectum will be 4 . Putting in equation, we have \((x+5)^{2}=16 \times 4=64\)…
