How to graph a parabola when p is a fraction

The video tutorial explains how to identify the HRK values in a parabolic equation and determine the vertex. It guides through graphing the vertex, understanding the values of K and H, calculating the P value, and determining the direction of the parabola. Finally, it covers how to find the focus and directrix of the parabola.

What does a positive value of P indicate about the direction of the parabola?

How do you calculate the directrix of a parabola given the value of P?
