Question 816441: find the vertex, the focus, and the directrix. then draw the graph
x^2-16y=0

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2 - 16y = 0
(1/16)x^2 - y = 0
y = (1/16)x^2
y = 0.0625x^2
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=0.0625, b=0, and c=0
---
to solve the quadratic equation, plug this:
0.0625 0 0
into this: https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-equation-solver.php
---
the roots of the quadratic are:
x = 0
x = 0
---
the vertex is a minimum at: ( 0, 0 )
---
the focus is: ( 0, 4 )
---
the directrix is: y = -4
---
the graph:
+graph%28+300%2C+300%2C+-30%2C+30%2C+-10%2C+30%2C+0.0625x%5E2%29+
