standard form of parabola vertex (0,0) and focus (0,5)
'p' is the distance from the vertex to the focus and is equal to 1/(4a)
p=5 .... so
5 = 1/(4a)
20a = 1
a = (1/20)
standard form: y+=+a%28x+-+h%29%5E2+%2B+k where (h,k) is the vertex
y+=+%281%2F20%29%28x%29%5E2
equation of ellipse vertex (-8,0), co-vertex (0,4) center (0,0)
a=8
b=4
standard form: %28%28%28x+-+h%29%5E2%29%2Fa%5E2%29%2B%28%28y+-+k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2%29=1 where the center is (h,k)
%28%28%28x%29%5E2%29%2F64%29%2B%28%28y%29%5E2%2F16%29=1
