a parabola?

A it's is located halfway between the parabolas focus and directrix

B it is located on the parabola directix

C it is located on the parabola focus

D it is located halfway between the parabola two foci​

Answer 1

A it's is located halfway between the parabolas focus and directrix

Explanation:

hope this helps

Answer 2

Option A is correct that is it's is located halfway between the parabolas focus and directrix.

Explanation:

We are given a parabola.

To find: Best statement which describes the location of the vertex on the parabola.

Standard Equation of Parabola which open on the Right hand direction.

( y - k )² = 4a( x - h )

Here, ( h , k ) is the vertex of the parabola and ( h + a , k ) is the focus.

Distance of the focus from vertex = a

Equation of the Directrix of the Parabola is , y = k - a

Distance of the Directrix from vertex = a

Therefore, Option A is correct that is it's is located halfway between the parabolas focus and directrix.
