Find the vertex, focus, and directrix. y = 1/24(x+1)² - 3.

[tex]y = \frac{1}{24}(x+1)^2 - 3\\\\y+3 =\frac{1}{24}(x+1)^2\ \ / *24\\\\ (x+1)^2 = 24(y+3)[/tex]

This   is  an  equation  of  a  parabola  that  opens  upwards.

[tex]Its \ standard \ form: \\(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)\\ (h,k)=(x,y) \ coordinates \ of \ the \ vertex\\\ (h,k)=(-1,-3) \\\\axis \ of \ symmetry: \ x= -1\\ \\4p=24\ \ /:4\\p=6[/tex]

[tex]focus:(h,k+p)=(-1,-3+6)=(-1,3) \\ \\directrix: \ y=k-p=-3-6=-9[/tex]
