Question

..

Answer 1

all parabolas that have the axis of symmetry along the x axis look like this

4p(x-h) = (y-k)^2

Answer 2

(h,k) is the vertex
|p| = distance from vertex to focus

Answer 3

parabola formula is (y-k)^2 = +/- 4a ( x-h ) if it is going right or left and
(x-h)^2 = +/- 4a (y-k) if it is up or downward

Answer 4

thats the given formula that i write above

Answer 5

focus F is at the point (h+p,k)

since we're told that F is at the origin, this means

(h+p,k) = (0,0)
h+p = 0
k = 0

Answer 6

please use the fomula i wrote

Answer 7

ok so instead of 'p', use 'a'

Answer 8

yes, so before we solve it, we need to identify it it is right/left or up/downward

Answer 9

what is our graph?

Answer 10

the parabola looks like this

Answer 11

why it looks like that the graph

Answer 12

or like this
