Question : 24
Total: 71
Vertex (0, 0); focus (3, 0)
Solution:  
Since the vertex of the parabola is at (0, 0) and focus is at (3, 0)
∴ y = 0 ⇒ The axis of parabola is along x-axis
∴ The equation of the parabola is of the form y2 = 4ax
The required equation of the parabola is y2 = 4 × 3x ⇒ y2 = 12x.
