Question

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 2) and a directrix at y = -2.

Answer 1

@mathmate this is the same one as before but i want to make sure i am doing it right, i got y = 1/8x^2

Answer 2

got it right!

Answer 3

Excellent, and again, it's correct if you meant \[y=(1/8)x^2\]
This one has a directrix y=-2, and focus at (0,2), so the vertex is at the origin again. This has a vertical axis, so what you've got is correct.
