Since the vertex is at the origin and the parabola opens downward, the equation of the parabola is x2 = 4py, where p < 0, and the axis of symmetry is the y-axis. So the focus is at y-axis at (0, p) and the directrix equation is y = -p. Now, what do you mean with 1 and 76 units? 1.76 units? If the distance of the vertex and the focus is 1.76 units, then p = -1.76, thus 4p = -7.04, then the equation of the parabola is x2 = -7.04y.
A parabola with an equation, y2 = 4ax has its vertex at the origin and opens to the right. It's not just the '4' that is important, it's '4a' that matters. This type of parabola has a directrix at x = -a, and a focus at (a, 0). By writing the equation as it is, the position of the directrix and focus are readily identifiable. For example, y2 = 2.4x doesn't say a great deal. Re-writing the equation of the parabola as y2 = 4*(0.6)x tells us immediately that the directrix is at x = -0.6 and the focus is at (0.6, 0)
This equation is equal to the first one because it produces the same results, always. ... TL;DR - The circle equation is what you get when you multiply all terms from the ellipse equation by the radius. x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1 is an ellipse equation. Well, a circle has a radius where a and b are the same.
There is not enough information. You need either the directrix or vertex (or some other item of information).

The standard equation for a Parabola with is vertex at the origin (0,0) is, x2 = 4cy if the parabola opens vertically upwards/downwards, or y2 = 4cx when the parabola opens sideways. As the focus is at (0,6) then the focus is vertically above the vertex and we have an upward opening parabola. Note that c is the distance from the vertex to the focus and in this case has a value of 6 (a positive number). The equation is thus, x2 = 4*6y = 24y

Since the vertex is at the origin and the parabola opens downward, the equation of the parabola is x2 = 4py, where p < 0, and the axis of symmetry is the y-axis.

x2 = 16y The standard formula for a parabola with its vertex at the origin (0, 0) and a given focus (and the y-axis as an axis of symmetry) is as follows: x2 = 4cy In this case, the c is the y value of the focus. The focus in this case was (0, 4), and the y value in the focus is 4. That makes the c = 4. Further, that makes the equation for this parabola x2 = 4 (c)y = 4 (4)y = 16y Given that the vertex was the origin, (0, 0), and the focus is (0, 4), we can conclude that the axis of symmetry is the y-axis because the y value of the focus is 0. We can also conclude that the parabola opens up, because the focus has a positive y value.

The equation of a parabolic mirror with a vertical axis of symmetry and focus at (0,9) is y = 1/4x^2 + 9. The sunlight rays parallel to the axis of symmetry will reflect off the mirror and converge at the focus (9,0), where the straight pipe can be placed to receive maximum sunlight concentration.

A thermochemical equation includes the enthalpy change of a reaction, whereas a traditional chemical equation only shows the reactants and products involved in a reaction without considering energy changes. Thermochemical equations provide information about the heat absorbed or released during a reaction, while traditional chemical equations focus on the chemical identities of the species involved.
