Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with vertex at (5,2) and focus at (3,2).
\n" ); document.write( "

Since the focus: (3, 2) is to the LEFT of the VERTEX (5, 2), this is a PARABOLA with a HORIZONTAL AXIS of SYMMETRY. 
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, the CONIC form of the PARABOLA with a HORIZONTAL AXIS, or  is used.
