From a point $(d, 0)$,three normals are drawn to the parabola $y^{2} = x$. Then:

$A$ quadratic polynomial $y = f(x)$ with absolute term $3$ neither touches nor intersects the abscissa axis and is symmetric about the line $x = 1$. The coefficient of the leading term of the polynomial is unity. $A$ point $A(x_1, y_1)$ with abscissa $x_1 = 1$ and a point $B(x_2, y_2)$ with ordinate $y_2 = 11$ are given in a Cartesian rectangular system of coordinates $OXY$ in the first quadrant on the curve $y = f(x)$,where $O$ is the origin. The graph of $y = f(x)$ represents a parabola whose focus has the coordinates:
