Question

Find the vertex and focus of the parabola:

(y-2)^2 + 16(x-3) =0

Answer 1

You should convert this into the standard form of
y^2=4ax.

Where a is the focal point.

I hope this is right.

Answer 2

oh, you're right! so a is the space between the vertex and the focus or..?

Answer 3

a is the distance between the vertex and the focal point, i'm 90% sure.

It's been a while since I've done this stuff...

Answer 4

oh, you're right! thank you (:
