Answer:
z^2 = -12y
or y = -(z^2/12)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
z^2 = -12y
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the vertex at origin;
This is same as (0,0)
The focus (0,-3)
The general form is;
(z-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)
(h,k) is the vertex (0,0); so h = 0 and k = 0
The focus is given as;
(h,k + p)
so ;
k + p = -3
but k =0
so p = -3
Thus, the equation of the parabola is;
(z-0)^2 = 4(-3)(y-0)
z^2 = -12y
