Question

What is the focus of the parabola with equation 2y^2=8x?
HELP!!
pls. write the solution

Answer 1

dividing both side by 2 gives
y^2 = 4x

this parabola is symmetrical about the x axis , the vertex is at (0,0) and the focus is at
( a,0)


standard form is y^2 = 4ax

so compare this with our equation and you get a = ?
