Solution
a) (x+3)^2=4y
4a =4 ,
a=1
vertex=>(-3,0)
focus =>(-3,1)
directrix=> y =-1
b) x^2=4(y-2)
4a =4
a=1
vertex=>(0,2)
focus =>(0,3)
directrix=>y=1
c) ( x-5)^2=-3(x+2)
not a parabola
d) x=y^2-3y-1
x+1=y^2 -3y
x+1+(9/4)=y^2 -3y +(9/4)
(x+(13/4))=(y -(3/2))2
4a =1
a =1/4
vertex:(-13/4 ,3/2)
focus :(-13/4 +1/4 ,3/2)=(-3,3/2)
directrix:x =-13/4 -1/4
x =-7/2
