What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3, 6) and a directrix of y = 4? f(x) = one fourth (x − 3)2 + 1 f(x) = one fourth (x − 3)2 + 5 f(x) = −one fourth (x − 2)2 + 5 f(x) = −one fourth (x − 2)2

 Let point (x, y) be any point on the graph, than the distance between (x, y) and the focus (3, 6) is sqrt((x - 3)^2 + (y - 6)^2) and the distance between (x, y) and the directrix, y = 4 is |y - 4|

Thus sqrt((x - 3)^2 + (y - 6)^2) = |y - 4|
(x - 3)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = (y - 4)^2
x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 - 12y + 36 = y^2 - 8y + 16
x^2 - 6x + 29 = -8y + 12y = 4y
(x - 3)^2 + 20 = 4y
y = 1/4(x - 3)^2 + 5

Required answer is f(x) = one fourth (x - 3)^2 + 5

Where the white dots are is where your points should be plotted.a translation is simply just moving something from one place to another. in this case, you would move each plot point of the original shape 2 units up, and 5 units to the left.
