RE: Focus of a Parabola
Thank you Toshk. I was unaware of the function reduced_conic().

I was unable to determine from the results of reduced_conic(y-(2x^2+3x+1)) which item would tell me the focus (-3/4, 3/8) or the focal length (p = 1/8).

Which part of the result states the focus coordinates or the focal length p = 1/4a?

Cheers!
