we can rewrite it as

we can see that 1/4 is in multiple in both terms
so, we can factor it out
so, we get
..............Answer
Check the picture below.
now, we know the directrix is at y = 1, and the focus point is at 1,3, well, notice the picture, the distance between those fellows is just 2 units.
the vertex is half-way between those fellows, therefore, the vertex will be at 1,2.
the distance "p", from the vertex to either the directrix or focus, is really just 1 unit. Since the focus point is above the directrix, is a vertical parabola, and it opens upwards, like in the picture, and since it opens up, the "p" value is positive, or +1.
Okay so this is how i did it but idk if it’s right.
so i multiples the top and bottom by square root of 3 to get rid of the square root of 3
then i was left with 8-1/2(1) and got 7/2
If you're looking for "x"
x/3 = 3
x = 3*3
x= 9
