After graphing a conic section, press !5(G-SOLVE) to display the following graph

analysis menus.

u Parabolic Graph Analysis

• { FOCUS } / { VERTEX } / { LENGTH } / { e } ... {focus}/{vertex}/{length of latus rectum}/{eccentricity}

• { DIRECTX } / { SYMMETRY } ... {directrix}/{axis of symmetry}

u To calculate the focus and length of latus rectum

Example To determine the focus and length of latus rectum for the parabola X =

(Y – 2)

+ 3

Use the following V-Window settings.

Xmin = –1, Xmax = 10, Xscale = 1

Ymin = –5, Ymax = 5, Yscale = 1
