Section 10.1: The Parabola
Standard Equation of a Parabola with Vertex $$\left(0,0\right)$$ and Vertical Axis of Symmetry The standard equation of a parabola with vertex (0, 0) and directrix $$y=-p$$ is $$x^2=4py.$$ The focus is $$\left(0,p\right)$$ and the y-axis is the axis of symmetry.	See also Example 1 on p. 722.
Standard Equation of a Parabola with Vertex $$\left(0,0\right)$$ and Horizontal Axis of Symmetry The standard equation of a parabola with vertex (0, 0) and directrix $$x=-p$$ is $$y^2=4px.$$ The focus is (p, 0) and the x-axis is the axis of symmetry.	See also Example 2 on p. 722.
