directrix y=+x^2+8x+6

directrix

y = + x^{2} + 8 x + 6

y = - \frac{41}{4}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = x^{2} + 8 x + 6

in the standard form

4 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (y - (- 10)) = (x - (- 4))^{2}

(h, k) = (- 4, - 10), 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

(- 4, - 10)

y-coordinate

y = - 10 - p

y = - 10 - \frac{1}{4}

Refine

y = - \frac{41}{4}

y = (x + 3) (x - 1)

(x + 3)^{2} = - 8 (y + 2)

y = 3 x^{2} + 4

y = 2 x^{2} - 8 x + 4

3 - t^{2}
