we must consider this first
y= -(1/16)x^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
could u get that into the form
x^2 = 4*p*y

OpenStudy (anonymous):
take this equation
y= -(1/16)x^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and transfor it into this form
x^2 = 4*p*y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so u can find the value of p
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is the x or the y value?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x value
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is not
u must see the file that i have atacched
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oooo 0,-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
directrix is 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=4
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now we must translate it
to find the focus of
(y-2)=(-1/16)(x-1)^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x-1 meanst translate it 1 unit to the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so -3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the x coordinate was x=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
translate it 1 unit to the right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
o right so its 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):
now y-2 mean translate it 2 units upward
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x = 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we r working with the y coordinate
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh so y = 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is what u wrote
oooo 0,-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):
the y coordinate there is y=-4
translate it 2 units upward
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I did! is it y = -2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=1, y=-2
that is the focus
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
directrix is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the directrix was a horizontal line
y=4
translate it 2 units upward
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y = 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

which way does the loop go? @julian25
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u meant the shape of the graph?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No the parabola
OpenStudy (anonymous):
up or down
