Use the vertex form, y=a(x−h)2+ky=a(x-h)2+k, to determine the values of aa, hh, and kk.a=14a=14h=6h=6k=1k=1Find the vertex (h,k)(h,k).(6,1)(6,1)Find pp, the distance from the vertex to the focus.
Find the distance from the vertex to a focus of the parabola by using the following formula.14a14aSubstitute the value of aa into the formula.14⋅1414⋅14Simplify.
