Hii,
The answer for this will be y^2 = 4(b−a)(x−a) .
we'll get this equation after undertaking the following steps:
Given, Vertex A is (a,0)
Focus is (b,0)
Distance between vertex and focus AS = b−a=A (say)
So, the equation of parabola with vertex at (a,0) is (y−0)^2 = 4A(x−a)(y−0)^2 = 4A(x−a) = (y−0)^2 = 4(b−a)(x−a)⇒(y−0)^2 = 4(b−a)(x−a) = y^2 = 4(b−a)(x−a)
= y^2 = 4(b−a)(x−a)
Hope this helps.
