    2y2 — 5x — 12y 17 Answer: parabola

    Solution. The standard equation of the parabola is (y 2)2 — 16(x— 3). Its
    vertex is V (3, —
    2). Since 4c 16 or c 4, its focus is F ( — 1, —
    2) and its directrix is
    x 7. The circle has center ( 1, 2) and
    — — radius 8, which is the distance from
    F to the directrix. Thus, the equation of the circle is

    Solution. The standard equation of the parabola is (y 3)2 —12(x — 4), so


    its vertex is V (4, —3), and it opens to the left. With 4c 12, or c 3, its focus
    is F (1, —3), and its directrix is x 7. The hyperbola has its center on

    Its center (5, 3) is the focus of the parabola. Since b 2, its covertices are
    W1(5, 1) and W2(5, 5). The vertex of the parabola, c units to the right of (5, 3), is
    (5 c, 3). Its equation can be written as (y 3)2— 4c(x—(5 — c)). Since (5, 5)
    is a point on this parabola, we have (5 3)2— 4c(5
    — (5 — c)). Solving this
    equation for c > 0 yields c 1. Therefore, the standard equation of the required
    parabola is (y — 3)2 —4(x — 6).

    with center (2, —3), and constants ah = 2 and bh 3. Since its conjugate axis
    (which is horizontal and has length 2bh 6) is longer than its transverse axis
    (length 2ah 4), the ellipse is horizontal. Its major axis has length 2ae = 6
    and its minor axis has length 2be 4, so ae = 3 and be 2. The ellipse shares
    the same center as the hyperbola. Thus, the standard equation of the required
    ellipse is
    (x — 2)2

    We require 0 < 2m — 4 < m 3. Thus, 2 < m < 7.


    We require 0 < m + 3 < 2m — 4. Thus, m > 7.

    If m + 3 < 0 < 2m — 4, then m < —3 AND m > 2, which cannot


    happen.
