What is the equation of a parabola with vertex (0,0) and focus (0,4)
I think it needs to be ax^2 + bx + c = 0 But I'm lost!!! Can anybody get

What is the equation of a parabola with vertex (0,0) and focus (0,4)
I think it needs to be ax^2 + bx + c = 0 But I'm lost!!! Can anybody get me started??? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The general equation for a parabola is
where (h,k) is the vertex, and p is the distance from vertex to focus.
In your case, (h,k)=(0,0) and p=4,
