<em>Comment on the squaring</em>
There are several ways you can find the square (x+4)².
- Use your knowledge that (x+a)² = x²+2ax+a².
- Use FOIL* to compute (x+4)(x+4) = x² +4x +4x +4² = x²+8x+16
- Use the distributive property: (x+4)(x+4) = x(x+4) +4(x+4) = x² +4x +4x +4² (same as FOIL for two binomials)
__
* FOIL is mnemonic for {First, Outer, Inner, Last} referring to pairs of terms in the factors (x +a)(x +b). The x terms are the First terms. The Outer terms are the first x and b. The Inner terms are "a" and the second x. The Last terms are "a" and "b". You are to form the sum of those pairs of terms to find the product of the binomials.

The correct answer is b), or x² = -12y.
Explanation:
This equation may be written in standard form as
The coefficient in front of x² is negative so the curve is downward.
The vertex has coordinates (0,0).
The vertex is equidistant from the directrix and the focus, so the focus is (0, -3).
