    Hello,

    The parabola has as equation y=ax²+bc+c

    Δ=b²-4ac

    Directrice: y = - (1+Δ) / (4a)

    Focus = (-b / (2a), (1-Δ) / (4a))

    1) directrice : y=-1 = - (1+b²-4ac) / (4a) = = >4a-b²+4ac=1 (1)

    2) 1=-b / (2a) = = >2a=-b (2)

    3) 1 = (1-b²+4ac) / (4a) = = >4a-b²+4ac=1 (3)

    (1) + (2) = = >8a=2==>a=1/4

    (2) = = >b=-2/4

    (1) = = >4*1/4 + (-1/2) ²-4*1/4*c=1 = = >c=1/4

    Parabola's Equation : y=1/4 (x²-2x+1) = (x-1) ² / 4
