    Study Notes

    Defining a Circle

    • A circle is defined as the set of all points equidistant from a fixed point called the center.

    Characteristics of a Circle

    • A circle is a shape where every point on the circle is equal distance from the center.

    Parabola Characteristics

    • A characteristic of a circle is not applicable, as the questions are focused on parabolas.
    • The correct formula for finding the focus of a parabola in vertex form is dependent on the vertex form equation.

    Focus of a Parabola

    • If a parabola has a vertical axis of symmetry, the x-coordinate of the focus is the x-coordinate of the vertex.
    • The focus of the parabola y = (1/8)x^2 is (0, 1/4).

    Directrix of a Parabola

    • The directrix is a line perpendicular to the axis of symmetry, and is equally distant from the vertex and the focus of the parabola.

    Vertex of a Parabola

    • The coordinates of the vertex of the parabola y = (1/8)x^2 is (0, 0).
