directrix (x-11)^2

directrix

(x - 11)^{2}

y = - \frac{1}{4}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = (x - 11)^{2}

in the standard form:

4 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (y - 0) = (x - 11)^{2}

(h, k) = (11, 0), p = \frac{1}{4}

Parabola is symmetric around the y-axis and so the directrix is a line parallel to the x-axis, a distance

- p

from the center

(11, 0)

y-coordinate

y = 0 - p

y = 0 - \frac{1}{4}

Refine

y = - \frac{1}{4}

4 P^{2}

x^{2} + 3 x - 16

2 x - x^{2}

y = (x - 12)^{2} - 156

y = x^{2} + 6 x + 11
