Learn how to write the standard form of a parabola given the focus and vertex

The video tutorial explains how to write the standard form of a parabola equation using given information about the vertex and focus. It covers plotting the information to determine the parabola's orientation, whether it opens horizontally or vertically. The tutorial then demonstrates how to formulate the standard equation for a horizontal parabola and calculate the value of P, the distance from the vertex to the focus. Finally, it shows how to solve the equation for X, providing a complete understanding of writing the standard form of a parabola.
