Write an equation of the parabola with its vertex at the origin if its focus is at (0,2).
**
Given equation is that of a parabola that opens upwards. Standard form: (x-h)^2=4p(y-k), with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
For given equation:
vertex:(0,0)
axis of symmetry: x=0 or y-axis
p=distance from vertex to focus on axis of symmetry=2
equation of given parabola:
x^2=8y
