Write an equation for a parabola with vertex at (3, -6) and focus at (3, -4)
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "This is a parabola that opens upwards. (note the position of the focus in relation to the vertex)
\n" ); document.write( "Its standard form of equation: (x-h)^2=4p(y-k), (h,k) =(x,y) coordinates of vertex.
\n" ); document.write( "for given parabola:
\n" ); document.write( "given vertex(3,-6)
\n" ); document.write( "axis of symmetry: x=3
\n" ); document.write( "p=2 (distance from vertex to focus on axis of symmetry)
\n" ); document.write( "4p=8
\n" ); document.write( "equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(x-3)^2=8(y+6) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
