Prove that if \(\mathrm{F}(0,1)\) is the focus, and the line \(\mathrm{y}=-1\) is the directrix, then the equation of the parabola is $\mathrm{y}=(1 / 4) \mathrm{x}^{2}$.

Plot points of the curve corresponding to $\mathrm{y}=(1 / 4)(\mathrm{x}-2)^{2}\( for \)\mathrm{x}=4.3 .2 .1 .0 \mathrm{and}$ sketch the curve.

Consider the parabola \(y^{2}=4 p x .\) A tangent to the parabola at point \(\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right)\) is defined as the line that intersects the parabola at point \(\mathrm{P}_{1}\) and nowhere else. (a) Show that the slope of the tangent line is \(2 \mathrm{p} / \mathrm{y}_{1}\) [Hint: Let the slope be \(\mathrm{m}\). Find the equation of the line passing through \(\mathrm{P}_{1}\) with slope \(\mathrm{m}\). What are the points of intersection of the tangent line and the parabola? For what values of \(\mathrm{m}\), would there be only one intersection point?] (b) Find the equation of the tangent line. (c) Prove that the intercepts of the tangent line are $\left(-\mathrm{x}_{1}, 0\right)\( and \)\left[0,(1 / 2) \mathrm{y}_{1}\right]$
