From the following graphs determine the equation that formed them:

(a) 
Vertex (3, 2) Focus (3, 3) (b)
Center (-4, -2), P (4, -2) (c)
Center (3, -3), P (3, 1)

HINT:

(a) General form of parabola (y - k) = 4c(x - h)2,
where c = distance from vertex to focus

(b) Find the major and minor axes.  What general form does the orientation of 
the ellipse lead you to?

(c) Slopes of asymptotes = 1/2.  What general
form does the orientation of the hyperbola lead you to?
