Question

. Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 8) and a directrix at y = -8.

Answer 1

A. y=32x
B. Y^2= 8x
C. Y= 1/32 x^2
D. y= 1/8 x^2

Answer 2

so... hmmm the focus is at (0,8)
an the directrix is y = -8

can you see where the vertex is at?

Answer 3

keep in mind, the vertex is half-way between both of those fellows
the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix

Answer 4

so wouldn't it be choice B.? because of the Y

Answer 5

well... we don't have a vertex really... so... we dunnno what it might be

Answer 6

oh okasy would you mind showing me how to do the problem im not sure how to di it!!! @jdoe0001
