anyone know how to find the equation of a parabola when your given the dirextrix and the focus, but neither contain a zero.
+ does anyone know what the difference between a parabola and a cononical parabola is?

a cononical parabola? do you mean conical?
a cononical parabola? do you mean conical?
nope i mean canonical?
mean anything to anyone?

Canonical Form is the standard form of a geometric entity.
A parabola has canonical form;
y^2 = 4xp
Which means that you can make substitutions xprime and yprime to get any parabolic equation into canonical form.
e.g.
y - 2 = (x + 3)^2
subs.
x' = y - 2
y' = x + 3
to transform equation into canonical form.
