Since y is the suqraed term, it opens left or right
in this form it is
(y-k)²=4p(x-h)

(h,k) is the vertex
if p is negative then it opens to the left and directix is to the right of the vertex
if p is positve then it opens to the right and directix is to the left of the vertex
p is the distance from vertex to directix


so
(y-0)²=4(-6)(x-0)
the vertex is (0,0)
-6 is negative
so
vertex is (0,0)
directix is 6 unts to the right of (0,0) or at x=6

the directix is x=6

Answer:

x(3x^3+ 5x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

3x^4 + 5x^2 + 2x

Taking x common from the above equation.

x(3x^3+ 5x + 2)

Nothing can be taken from above equation now. We can write the answer as :

x(3x^3+ 5x + 2)

Hence, this is the required solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of all angles in a triangle=180

180-59=129

y>x

70+59=129

180-129=51

129-51=78

x=78
