You are given the standard form of the equation of a parabola. You know the vertex but do not know the value of p, or the distance from the vertex to the directrix. What happens to
the shape of the parabola as the value of p gets larger?
O As the absolute value p gets larger, the parabola gets more narrow
O As the absolute value p gets larger, the parabola gets more wide
O The value of p does not affect the shape of the parabola
O As p gets larger, the parabola moves up and down along the y-axis
