Can someone help me with some math homework?

OpenStudy (pflori1234_pop):

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

It won't let me open up the link what's the question

OpenStudy (pflori1234_pop):

It say "Graph the parabola. Identify the vertex focus and directrix. \[-2x^2=16y\]

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Are you sure it says directrix????

OpenStudy (pflori1234_pop):

yes

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

The directrix is y=2 the vertex is y=x2/8

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Feel free to give me a medal if I awnsered your question plz

OpenStudy (pflori1234_pop):

OpenStudy (pflori1234_pop):

could u see it now?

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Yeah I gave you the awaner

OpenStudy (pflori1234_pop):

ik u answered the question but i need to show work or it doesnt count..you also didn't say the focus

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

So you need the focus if I tell you what app to use will you give me a medal????

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

The app you can use to find all of your awnsers is called math way it shows you everything from graphs algebra trigonometry and so much more and it's free to download and use

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You have the following equation\[-2x^2=16y\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please write it in the form y=4px^2. Can you determine the value of "p" through doing this? Can you identify the coordinates of the vertex of this parabolic graph? The focus is |p| units from the vertex along the vertical axis, and the directrix is the same distance, but in the other direction along the vertical axis. Find p, and then find |p|. Your focus is at (0,p) and your directrix has the equation y=p. Note that "p" is negative in this particular problem.
