solve the parabola, ((( y=-1/16x^2 ))).
This is an equation of a parabola that opens downwards.
Its standard form: y=A(x-h)^2+k, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the vertex
When A<0, parabola opens downwards, when A>0, parabola opens upwards.
For given equation: y=-1/16x^2
A=-1/16
vertex: (0,0)
axis of symmetry: x=0
