The standard equation for a parabola that opens upward parallel to the y-axis is x2=4ay, where a = distance from the vertex to focus. Vertex is at origin(0,0)
4a=2
a=2/4
a=1/2 or 0.5
the coordinate of the focus is (0, 1/2)
the equation of the directrix is y=-1/2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of a function f between a and b (a< b) is :
R =[f(b)-f(a)] ÷ (a-b)
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
Let R be the average rate of change of this function
f(6) = 2×6^2 - 7×6 = 72-42 = 30
f(2) = 2×2^2 - 7×2 = 8-14 = -6
R = [f(6) - f(2)]÷ (6-2)
R = [30-(-6)] ÷ 4
R = -36/4
R = -9

The average rate of change of this function is -9
