3. A moving point $P$ has equal distance to the point $F ( 2,0 )$ and to the line $x + 2 = 0$. Then the locus equation of $P$ is $y ^ { 2 } = 8 x$.
Analysis: This examines the definition and standard equation of a parabola.\\
By the definition, the locus of $P$ is a parabola with focus $F ( 2,0 )$. Since $p = 2$, its equation is $y ^ { 2 } = 8 x$.
