its asking for the equation in standard form, vertex, focus, directrix,and the functions in terms of y.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y^2-8x+4y-20 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "y^2+4y+? = 8x-20 + ?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "y^2+4y+4 = 3x-20+4
\n" ); document.write( "(y+2)^2 = 3x-16
\n" ); document.write( "3x = (y+2)^2+16
\n" ); document.write( "x = (1/3)(y+2)^2 + (16/3)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "vertex: (-2,16/3)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "4p = 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "p = 1/12
\n" ); document.write( "directrix: x = -2-(1/12) ; x = -25/12
\n" ); document.write( "focus: -2+1/12 = 23/12 :::Ans: (23/12 , 16/3)
