Find the focus of parabola with equation y^2=-100x.(a) (0, 25)(b) (0, -25)(c) (25, 0)(d) (-25, 0)This question was posed to me at a job interview.Enquiry is from Conic Sections topic in section Conic Sections of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct choice is (d) (-25, 0)

For explanation I would SAY: COMPARING equation with y^2=-4ax.

4a=100 => a=25.

Focus is at (-a, 0) i.e. (-25, 0).
