The equation is $\"\"$ .

Because the $\"\"$ -term is squared, the equation represents a vertical parabola.

Find the focus of the parabola.

Standard form of vertical parabola is $\"\"$ ,

where $\"\"$ is vertex and focus $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Rewrite the equation as $\"\"$ .

Compare the above equation with $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

Since $\"\"$ is positive, the parabola opens up.

$\"\"$

The focus of $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

Therefore, the focus is $\"\"$ above the ground.

The focus is $\"\"$ above the ground.
