Finding Distance Between Focus & Vertex of Parabola
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The distance between the focus and vertex of the parabola defined by the equation 6x² + 8 = 2y can be determined using the standard formula for parabolas. This equation can be rewritten in the standard form to identify the vertex and focus. The focus is located at (h, k + p), where (h, k) is the vertex and p is the distance from the vertex to the focus. For the given parabola, the necessary calculations yield a specific distance value that can be derived from the parameters of the equation.
