directrix y=(2x-1)^2

directrix

y = (2 x - 1)^{2}

y = - \frac{1}{16}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = (2 x - 1)^{2}

in the standard form:

4 \cdot \frac{1}{16} (y - 0) = (x - \frac{1}{2})^{2}

(h, k) = (\frac{1}{2}, 0), p = \frac{1}{16}

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

(\frac{1}{2}, 0)

y-coordinate

y = 0 - p

y = 0 - \frac{1}{16}

Refine

y = - \frac{1}{16}
