Find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola: x² = 28y

• Vertex: (0, 0) Focus: (0,7) Directrix: y=-7
• Vertex: (0, 0) Focus: (7,0) Directrix: y=7
• Vertex: (0, 0) Focus: (0,-7) Directrix: x=-7
• Vertex: (0, 0) Focus: (7, 0) Directrix: x=7

The focus is always inside the parabola.

• true
• false

What is the directrix of the parabolic conic section y=x²?

• y =1/4
• x=1
• y=-1/4
• y=1

The sign of the 'p' value determines if the graph opens upward or downward.

• True
• False
