Arrange it to slope intercept form

sam (.sam.):

\[2x^2 + 32y = 32 \\ 32y=-2x^2+32 \\ y=-\frac{1}{16}x^2+1\] We'll use \(\huge x=-\frac{b}{2a}\) to find the vertex, since 'b' is zero, The point x of vertex is zero. When x=0, y=1 So vertex is (0,1)

How do I get the focus?

sam (.sam.):

Write it \[y=-\frac{1}{16}x^2\] Then use the form: \[x^2=(4p)y\] ----------------- using our original equation \[y=-\frac{1}{16}x^2\] \[-16y=x^2\] ----------------- So, 4p=-16 p=-4 Then add 1 for p because \[y=-\frac{1}{16}x^2(+1)\] p=-3 Focus will be in the form (0,p)
