Enter Parabola equation

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:

c = 6

Our focus is (0,6)

Determine directrix equation:

Directrix is in the form y = c, so we have y = 6


What is the Answer?

Our focus is (0,6)
