Standard form equation for the parabola with the focus: F(0,4) and directrix y=3

a parabola is a trajectory such that the from every point on the parabola the distance to the focus and normal distance to the directrix is same
so here the focus is (0,4) and the directrix is y=3.. @Andy2Guns, are you here?
anyway, from any arbitrary point (x,y), what is the normal distance to the line y=3? obviously |y-3| what is the distance of the point (0,4) from (x,y)? obviously \[\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-4)^2}\] so \[\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-4)^2}\]=|y-3| square in both sides and solve
this is the equation of your required parabola
