    The length of the latus rectum of the parabola \[9{{x}^{2}}-6x+36y+19=0\]       [MP PET 1994]

    A)            36   

    B)            9

    C)            6     

    D)            4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[9{{x}^{2}}-6x+19=-36y\]                    Þ \[{{(3x-1)}^{2}}=-36y-18=-36\left( y+\frac{1}{2} \right)\]                    Þ \[9{{\left( x-\frac{1}{3} \right)}^{2}}=-36\left( y+\frac{1}{2} \right)\]                    Hence length of latus rectum is 4.
