Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The directrix y=-6 is parallel to the x axes, so parabola has equation of the form

where
is the vertex of parabola and p is parabola's parameter.
By the definition,
is the distance from the vertex to the directrix, so

Hence, the equation of parabola is

See attached diagram for the graph of parabola and its directrix.
In vertex form this equation is

The cube root of x^2.
If you look at a regular square root of a number, that would be the same as x^(1/2) See the pattern?
