Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a vertical directrix, the equation of the parabola is

Where p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix.
or the distance from the vertex to the focus.
Since we have a sideways parabola, let use the point for the directrix is (-6,0). So let find the midpoint of (-6,0) and (6,0). That would be our vertex.


So our vertex is (0,0).
So our equation become

The distance from the focus and directrix is 6.
So p=6.

So p is 6.
Since p is 6,

40,000,000
Standard form means that you are just writing out the numbers regularly. In this case, we are switching from scientific notation to standard. The 10 is raised to the 7th power, so we have to move the decimal 7 places to the right.
