Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a vertex at the origin and a focus at (0, 9).
This is an equation of a parabola that opens downwards.
Its standard form:x^2=-4py
For given problem:
axis of symmetry: x=0
p=9 (distance from focus to vertex on the axis of symmetry)
4p=36
equation: x^2=-36y
