What is the equation for the parabola with vertex (0, 0) and focus (5, 0)
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "Based on given information, this is a parabola with an equation of the standard form:
\n" ); document.write( "(y-k)^2=4p(x-h), with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
\n" ); document.write( "For given problem:
\n" ); document.write( "vertex: (0,0) given
\n" ); document.write( "p=5 (based on given focus)
\n" ); document.write( "parabola opens rightwards
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(y-0)^2=4p(x-0)
\n" ); document.write( "y^2=20x \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
