\

The equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Since the $\"\"$ -term is squared, the parabola is vertical.

\

Standard form of the vertical parabola is $\"\"$ .

\

Where

\

Vertex : $\"\"$ ,

\

Focus : $\"\"$ ,

\

Axis of symmetry : $\"\"$ ,

\

Directrix : $\"\"$ .

\

\

The parabola equation $\"\"$ .

\

Write the equation in standard form.

\

$\"\"$

\

To change the expression( $\"\"$ ) into a perfect square trinomial add $\"\"$ to each side of the equation.

\

Here $\"\"$ coefficient $\"\"$ .

\

So, $\"\"$ .

\

Add $\"\"$ to each side of $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

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

\

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

\

Vertex : $\"\"$ ,

\

Focus : $\"\"$ ,

\

Axis of symmetry : $\"\"$ ,

\

Directrix : $\"\"$ .

\

\

Graph the vertx, focus, axis of symmetry and directrix.

\

Construct a table values to graph the general shape of the curve.
