Answer:

[tex]focus=(0,\frac{1}{4})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given equation of parabola as

[tex]y=x^2[/tex]

we can also write as

[tex]y=1(x-0)^2+0[/tex]

now, we can compare

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

and find a , h , and k

a=1

h=0

k=0

now, we can use focus formula

[tex]focus=(h,k+\frac{1}{4a})[/tex]

now, we can plug values

[tex]focus=(0,0+\frac{1}{4\times 1})[/tex]

[tex]focus=(0,\frac{1}{4})[/tex]
