The point \((6,y)\) is the same distance from \((4,1)\) as it is from the \(x\)-axis. What is the value of \(y\)?
A parabola is defined as the set of points the same distance from \((6,2)\) and the line \(y=4\). Select all points that are on this parabola.
\((1,\text-2)\)
\((2,\text-1)\)
\((6,2)\)
\((7,3)\)
\((8,2)\)
Compare and contrast the parabolas with these definitions.
A parabola has a focus of \((2, 5)\) and a directrix of \(y=1\). Decide whether each point on the list is on this parabola. Explain your reasoning.
Technology required. What is the value of \(y\)?
For each function, give the vertex of its graph and state whether the function has a maximum or minimum.
