Given a point and vertex find the formula of the parabola

What is the primary focus when determining which variable is squared in a standard form equation?

• The context of the problem

• The position of the directrix

• The distance to the focus

• The value of the vertex

Which point is used along with the vertex to find the value of P?

• (2, 4)

• (1, 1)

• (3, 6)

• (0, 0)

What is the formula used to find the value of P in the equation?

• (Y - K)^2 = 4P(X - H)

• Y^2 = 4P(X - H)

• (X - H)^2 = 4P(Y - K)

• X^2 = 4P(Y - K)

Why can the terms X - 0 and Y - 0 be omitted in the final equation?

• Because the vertex is at the origin

• Because they do not affect the equation

• Because the vertex is not at the origin

• Because they are always zero

What is the final standard form of the equation derived in the lesson?

• Y = 4/3 X^2

• Y = 2/3 X^2

• Y = 3/2 X^2

• Y = 3/4 X^2
