    OBJECTIVES : At the end of the lesson, the learners can…

    1. define a parabola ;
    2. determine the standard form of equation of a parabola ;
    3. graph a parabola in a rectangular coordinate system; and

    I- ENGAGING ON TASK
    I.1 Setting of Emotional Climate

    1. Stand up.
    2. Blink your left eye while simultaneously snapping your fingers with your right hand.
    3. Now blink your right eye and while snapping with your left hand.
    4. Try to blink one eye while snapping on the opposite side's hand 15 times in a row
    alternating eye. In other words, blink your left eye while simultaneously snapping with
    your right hand and then blinking your right eye while snapping with your left hand.

    I.2 Refreshing Prior Knowledge

    What geometry concepts do you know ?

    LINKING STATEMENT

    Since you are familiar with geometry concepts and geometric shapes , we will now
    discuss conic sections about circle , parabola , ellipse and hyperbola.
    Notes:

    Vertex to Focus is “a” while Focus to the axis either x and y-axis is “c”.F(a,c) V(h,k)

    The distance from focus to vertex is the same from vertex to directrix.

    II- ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

    1.3 Summary of Essential Knowledge


    Lesson 2: PARABOLA
    A PARABOLA is a set of all points in a plane equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line
    in that plane. The fixed point is called the focus of a parabola and the fixed line is called the
    directrix. The line through the focus and perpendicular to the directrix is called the axis of the
    parabola, and the point where the parabola crosses its axis is called the vertex. The chord
    drawn through the focus and perpendicular to the axis of the parabola is called the latus rectum.
    Now, if we know the equation of the directrix of a parabola and the coordinates of its focus, the
    equation and graph of the parabola can easily be determined.
    A. Parabola opening to the right, vertex not at the origin.
    We will take the vertex of a parabola not at the origin and the focus at (a,0), where a is any
    positive number. Then the axis of the parabola is along the x-axis, and the directrix is the line
    x= -a. If P(x,y) is any point on the Parabola, the standard equation of the parabola is (y-k)2 = 4a
    (x-h)
    If the vertex is at the origin, then the equation will be y2 = 4ax

    Note : Directrix of the parabola is at the back of the parabola. (dot line in the fig.)

    Fig.a Fig. b

    Fig. c Fig. d
    B. Parabola opening to the left, vertex not at the origin.
    The standard equation of a parabola is (y-k)2 = -4a(x-h)
    If the vertex is at the origin, then the equation will be y2 = -4ax
    C. Parabola opening upward, vertex not at the origin.
    The standard equation will be (x-h)2 = 4a( y-k).
    If the vertex of a parabola is at the origin, then the equation will be x2 =4ay.
    D. Parabola opening downward, vertex not at the origin.
    The standard equation will be (x-h)2 = -4a(y-k).
    If the vertex is at the origin, then the equation will be x2 = -4ay.
    Example 1a. Find the equation of the parabola, directrix and axis of symmetry of the
    parabola.
    a) Vertex at the origin, Focus at ( 0, 5/2)
    b) Vertex (5, -4) and Focus(3, -4)
    Solutions
    a) Parabola opens upward, vertex at the origin and focus at(0, 5/2) a=5/2
    (x-0)2 = 4a(y-k) V(0,0) x2 = 4(5/2) y x2 = 20/2y x2 = 10 y and directrix y=- 5/2 and
    axis of symmetry is y-axis(vertical line).
    b) Parabola opens left, V(5, -4), F(3,-4) Dirextrix x=7, a=2
    (y-k)2 =-4a(x-h) (y-(-4))2 =4(2) (x-5) (y+4)2 = 8(x-5)and axis of symmetry is at x-
    axis( horizontal line).
    Example 1b. Determine the vertex, Focus, directrix and axis of symmetry of the parabola.
    a) y2 -5x + 12y = -16
    b) 5x2 + 30x + 24y =51
    Solutions. a) we complete the square on y and move x to the other side.
    y2 + 12y = 5x -16
    y2 + 12y +36 = 5x – 16 + 36 (completing square) 3rd term=( ½(12))2 =36
    (y + 6)2 =5x + 20
    ( y + 6)2 = 5( x + 4)
    V( -4, -6) F(- 2.75, - 6) directrix x= -5.25 axis of symmetry is at x –axis.
    c) We complete the square of x and move y to the other side.
    5 x2 + 30x = -24y + 51
    5( x + 6x + 9) = -24y + 51 + 5(9)
    5( x + 3)2 = -24 + 51 + 45
    5( x + 3)2 = -24y + 96
    ( x + 3)2 = -24/5 ( y-4)
    Parabola opens downward, V( -3, 4), F( -3, 2.8) directrix y=5.2 ans axis of
    symmetry y-axis (vertical line)
    4a=24/5 a= 24/20 a = 6/5 a= 1.2 4-1.2= 2.8 y=4 + 1.2 = 5.2
    1.4 Testing of knowledge
    Read and analyse the following questions. Write your answers on a sheet of paper .
    1. How does the value of “a” in the given equation relate to the opening of the
    graph of the parabola?
    2. What is the relationship or rule can you formulate between the opening of the
    graph of the parabola and its vertex?

    2. Find the equation of the directrix of the parabola.

    Situational problem
    A satellite dish has a shape called a paraboloid, where each cross-section is a parabola. Since
    radio signals ( parallel to the axis) will bounce off the surface of the dish to the focus, the
    receiver should be placed at the focus. How far should the receiver be from the vertex, if the
    dish is 12 ft across, and 4.5 ft deep at the vertex?

    y
    x
    Solution
    From the problem, x = 6 ft and y=4.5 ft, since the vertex of the parabola is at the
    origin and the opening is upward, then the equation is x2 =4ay.
    When x= 6 ft and y = 4.5 ft then substitute to the formula, will give you
    X2 = 4ay
    (6)2 = 4a(4.5)
    36=18a
    a=2 ft
    Thus, the receiver should be 2 ft away from the vertex.
