Question

How do you write an equation of a parabola in standard form?

Answer 1

Answer:

If a parabola has a vertical axis, the standard form of the equation of the parabola is this: (x - h)2 = 4p(y - k), where p≠ 0. The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k). The focus is at (h, k + p). The directrix is the line y = k - p.
