Find the vertex and focus of the parabola y^2-8x=0
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "This is a parabola that opens rightwards.
\n" ); document.write( "Its standard form of equation: (y-k)^2=4p(x-h), (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
\n" ); document.write( "For given parabola:
\n" ); document.write( "y^2-8x=0
\n" ); document.write( "y^2=8x
\n" ); document.write( "vertex: (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "axis of symmetry: x-axis or y=0
\n" ); document.write( "4p=8
\n" ); document.write( "p=2
\n" ); document.write( "focus: (2,0) (p distance from vertex on axis of symmetry)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
