Parabolas4of8 Drawing a parabola given its equation in vertex form
This is the fourth video in a series of eight that takes a comprehensive look at the parabola.
In this video we are given the equation for a parabola in vertex form. From that information we find the vertex (h,k) and the constant "p." Using those two pieces of information, we find the focus and the directrix of the parabola. Then we plot that information and draw the parabola.
