Be sure to write your answer as an ordered pair.

Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y= (1/16) x^2 Opens Upward along x = 0
V(0,0)
1/16 = 1/(4p) = 1/16, p = 4
F(0,4)
the vertex form of a Parabola opening up(a>0) or down(a<0),
where(h,k) is the vertex and x = h is the Line of Symmetry
The standard form is , 0r a = 1/4p, where the focus is (h,k + p)
With Directrix y = (k - p)
