Graph a parabola with a vertical axis of symmetry and identify the focus & directrix

The video tutorial explains how to graph a parabola and identify its key components: the vertex, focus, and directrix. It begins by discussing the orientation of the parabola based on the squared variable, then moves on to identifying the vertex using the general form. The tutorial continues with calculating the focus and directrix by determining the value of P, and concludes by finalizing the graph with these details.
