\n" ); document.write( "This is a parabola that opens rightward:
\n" ); document.write( "Its basic equation: (y-k)^2=4p(x-h), (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of vertex
\n" ); document.write( "For given parabola:
\n" ); document.write( "p=4 (distance from vertex to focus on the axis of symmetry)
\n" ); document.write( "4p=16
