Our focus is (0,6)
↓Steps Explained:↓
Evaluate the vertical parabola
x2 = 24y
Determine coordinates of the focus:
Since our y coefficient of 24 is positive
The parabola opens up
vertical parabola equation
x2 = 4cy
4c = 24
Divide each side by 4:
| 4c | |
| 4 |
| = |
| 24 |
| 4 |
c = 6
Our focus is (0,6)Determine directrix equation:
Directrix is in the form y = c, so we have y = 6
