Question

Convert the equation to the standard form of a parabola and graph the parabola, the

focus, and the directrix.
y2-12 x - 4y+64=0

Answer 1

Graph x2 = 4y and state the vertex, focus, axis of symmetry, and directrix. ... this "algebraically" by rearranging the given equation into the conics form: ... picking y-values first and then finding the corresponding x-values for x = –y2 – 10y – 25: ... find the exact vertex, etc, I'll need to convert the equation to perfect-square form.
