find the equation of parabola whose focus is (1,1) and tangent at the vertex is x + y = 1
Let S be the focus and A be the vertex of the parabola. Let K be the point of intersection of the axis and directrix.
Since axis is a line passing through S(1,1) and perpendicular to x+y=1 so, let the equation of the axis be x-y+λ=0.
This will pass through (1,1), if 1-1+λ=0 ⇒λ=0
So the equation of the axis is x-y=0
The vertex A is the point of intersection of x-y=0 and x+y=1.
Solving these two equations, we get x=1/2 , y=1/2
so, the coordinates of the vertex A are (1/2,1/2).
Let be the coordinates of K. then,
So, the co-ordinates of K are (0,0).
Since directrix is a line passing through K(0,0) and parallel to x+y=1,
therefore, equation of the directrix is y-0=-1(x-0), i.e. x+y=0
Let P(x,y) be any point on the parabola. then,
distance of P from the focus S = distance of P from the directrix
