A 3 dimentional parabola f(x, y, z)
has a focus P(x, y, z)=(p, q, r).
A rectangular box with side lengths
a, b, and c (see diagram), has a point P
on the front center point of its face.
If the origin lies on the opposite face,
in the middle, what is the function of the
curve?
Note
Origin O(x, y, z)=(0, 0, 0)
O(x, y, z) = (p−c, q, r)
