from the provided focus point and directrix, we can see that the focus point is above the directrix, meaning is a vertical parabola and is opening upwards, thus the squared variable will be the "x".
keeping in mind the vertex is half-way between these two fellows, Check the picture below.

Answer:
Degree of freedom is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sample of seven infants is randomly selected and their weights at birth are recorded.
Given, Population mean = 6.6 pounds
Sample size = n = 7
Degree of freedom = n - 1
= 7 - 1
= 6
Degree of freedom is 6.
Answer: Our required formula becomes :

Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that

We need to write a formula for f(b) in terms of b So, it becomes

Hence, our required formula becomes :

So hmmm x²+6x+8=0
alrite.. let's do some grouping now
( x² + 6x + [?]²) + 8 = 0
notice above, we have a missing fellow in order to get a perfect square trinomial... hmm who would that be?
let's take a peek at the middle guy of the trinomial.. 6x.. hmmm let's factor it, 2*3*x, wait a minute! 2 * 3 * x... we already have x² on the left-side, since the middle term is just 2 * the square root of the other two terms, that means that the guy on the right, our missing guy must be "3"
alrite, let's add 3² then, however, bear in mind that, all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0
so if we add 3², we also have to subtract 3², let's do so
(x² + 6x +3² - 3²) + 8 = 0
(x² + 6x +3²) + 8 - 3² = 0
(x+3)²=3² - 8
(x+3)² = 1
