Identify the vertex, focus, and directrix. \[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 24 }x^2\]

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Try to compare it with the x^2 = 4ay form.

OpenStudy (emilyjones284):

umm i just dont understand how to do it

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

what is the vertex, directrix and focus of a general parabola of the form x^2 = 4ay ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vertex=(0,0) focus=(0,6) and directrix is y+6=0

OpenStudy (emilyjones284):

thats not the general form that i know of

OpenStudy (emilyjones284):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doy you know how to do

OpenStudy (emilyjones284):

did you do the 4p thing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4p things???

OpenStudy (emilyjones284):

where you say 4p = ? and then divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X^2=4py X^2=24y 4p=24 p=6 hence focus is (0,6)

OpenStudy (emilyjones284):

thanks
