Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line F(0,8);y=-8
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "Given problem is the definition of a parabola which opens upwards with a directrix of y=-8 and a focus of (0,8). Its equation is of the standard form: (x-h)^2=4p(y-k), (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex, p=distance from vertex to focus or directrix on the axis of symmetry
