How to find the focus and directrix of a parabola

The video tutorial explains how to determine the center, focus, and directrix of a parabola in standard form. It begins by identifying whether the parabola is vertical or horizontal, then calculates the center using the formula H, K. The focus is found by adding the value of P to the Y-coordinate of the center, and the directrix is determined by subtracting P from the Y-coordinate. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationship between the components and provides a step-by-step guide to solving the problem.
