Question:

The equation of the parabola with focus \((2,0)\) and vertex \((1,0)\) is

Show Hint

For a parabola opening right with vertex \((h,k)\), use \((y-k)^2=4a(x-h)\).
  • \(y^2=4x\)
  • \(y^2=4x-4\)
  • \(y^2=4(x+1)\)
  • \(y^2=-4(x-1)\)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
Vertex is \((1,0)\) and focus is \((2,0)\).

Step 2:
Since focus is to the right of vertex, parabola opens towards positive \(x\)-axis.

Step 3:
Standard form: \[ (y-k)^2=4a(x-h) \] Here, \[ (h,k)=(1,0) \]

Step 4:
Distance between vertex and focus: \[ a=2-1=1 \]

Step 5:
\[ y^2=4(1)(x-1) \] \[ y^2=4x-4 \] \[ \boxed{y^2=4x-4} \]
