The answer is D as said above
About 1.63 ft.
First subtract 8.5 from 11.75 which is 3.25
then divide 3.25 by 2 which is 1.625
Therefore about 1.63 ft. away from each side.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Directrix: y = 4-6 = -2
:::::
B. Axis of symmetry: x = 6
Axis of symmetry intersects directrix at (6,-2)
:::::
C . Vertex is halfway between focus and directrix, at (6,1)
:::::
D. The focus lies above the directrix, so the parabola opens upwards.
:::::
E. Focal length p = 1/(4×0.5)
:::::
F. p = 0.5
::::
G. y = 0.5(x-6)² + 1
18x + 8x = -3
26x = -3
x = -3/26
