The coordinates of the focus of the parabola described parametrically by x=5t2+2,y=10t+4 (where t is a parameter) are
  1. (7,4)
  2. (3,4)
  3. (3,-4)
  4. (-7,4)

Solution

Given parametric curves are

x=5t2+2, y=10t+4

x-25=t2,y-410=t

Eliminating t, we get

x-25=y-4102

y-42=20x-2

Y2=10X, where Y=y-4, X=x-2

Coordinates of focus are 5,0

So, x-2=5, y-4=0

x=7, y=4

Hence, required coordinates are 7,4
