Find the focus, directrix and vertex of a parabola in conic sections

The video tutorial explains how to identify the vertex, focus, and directrix of a parabola. It begins with determining the vertex using the formula y - K, where K is the y-coordinate of the vertex. The focus is found by solving for P in the equation 4P = 1/2, resulting in a focus point of (1/8, 2). Finally, the directrix is identified as a vertical line at X = -1/8. The tutorial emphasizes common mistakes and provides tips for correctly plotting these points.
