Question

in a worksheet they gave it asks me to write a equation for the vertex(0,0) and the focus( 0,1/12)

Answer 1

have you started yet love?

Answer 2

ok... so the focus is above the focus.... so the parabola is concave up...

the distance from the vertex to the focus is the focal length...

the standard form I use is

\[(x - h)^2 = 4a(y - k)\]

(h, k) is the focus and a is the focal length.

you can substitute the values into the standard formula to find the equation
