Question
Find the focus, directrix, and focal diameter of the parabola, and sketch its graph.$$x-7 y^{2}=0$$
Step 1
The standard form of a parabola is $y^2 = 4px$ for a parabola that opens rightward or leftward. The given equation is $x-7y^2=0$. We can rewrite this as $y^2 = \frac{x}{7}$. Show more…
