Formulas

Standard form of a parabola opening horizontally: (y - k)^2 = 4p(x - h)
Vertex formula: (h, k)
Focus formula for a parabola: (h + p, k) if it opens horizontally
Directrix formula for a parabola: x = h - p if it opens horizontally

Theorems

Definition of a parabola as a set of points equidistant from a focus and a directrix
Relationship between the vertex, focus, and directrix of a parabola
