document.write( "the vertex form of a Parabola opening up(a>0) or down(a<0),  
\n" );
document.write( "where(h,k) is the vertex  and  x = h  is the Line of Symmetry
\n" );
document.write( "The standard form is , where  the focus is (h,k + p)
\n" );
document.write( "With Directrix y = -(k+p)
\n" );
document.write( "focus (0,6) and directrix y= -10,  p =   4p = 32

document.write( "  y = (1/32)x^2 -2
