The vertex of a parabola is (6,2), and the equation of its directrix is x = 8. What is the equation of this parabola in standard form? a. (y−2)2=8(x−6)

b. (y−2)2=−8(x−6)

c. (x−6)2=−8(y−2)

d. (x−6)2=8(y−2)

The equation of this parabola in standard form is (y - 2)² = -8(x - 6) ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the standard form of the equation of a parabola

The standard form of the equation is (y - k)² = 4p(x - h), where

∵ The vertex of a parabola is (6, 2)

→ From the fact above

∴ h = 6 and k = 2

∵ The equation of its directrix is x = 8

→ From the fact above

∴ h - p = 8

→ Substitute the value of h to find p

∵ 6 - p = 8

→ Subtract 6 from both sides

∴ - p = 2

→ Multiply both sides by -1

∴ p = -2

→ Substitute the values of h, k, and p in the form above

∴ (y - 2)² = 4(-2)(x - 6)

∴ (y - 2)² = -8(x - 6)

∴ The equation of this parabola in standard form is (y - 2)² = -8(x - 6)

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.
