Focus has coordinates (0, a)
a = -3
Thus, 4a = 4(-3) = -12
Because a is negative, we know it will be a concave down or concave left parabola. Hence, A and D can be eliminated. And we know it has to be B because the directrix is the horizontal line y = 3. Hence, the equation of the parabola becomes:

or
The first one (2-x^3) is the correct one
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras Theorem:
hipotenuse²=leg₁²+leg₂²
First posible triangle:
hypotenuse=13 (13²=169)
leg₁=12 ( 12²=144)
leg₂=5 (5²=25)
13³=144 + 25
Answer:can be side lengths of a triangle
Second triangle:
hypotenuse=12.6 (12.6²=158.76)
leg₁=6.7 ( 6.7²=44.89)
leg₂=6.5 (6.5²=42.25)
leg₁²+leg₂²=44.89+42.25=87.14≠158.76
Answer: cannot be side lenghts of a triangle.
third triangle:
hypotenuse=13 (13²=169)
leg₁=12 ( 12²=144)
leg₂=11 (11²=121)
leg₁²+leg₂²=144+121=265≠169
Answer: cannot be side lenghts of a triangle.
fourth triangle:
hypotenuse=13 (13²=169)
leg₁=6 ( 6²=36)
leg₂=4 (4²=16)
leg₁²+leg₁²=36+16=52≠169
Answer: cannot be side lenghts of a triangle.
