Question

what is the value of p in x^2=12y?

Answer 1

There is no p in x^2=12y

Answer 2

im assuming that p has some meaning

Answer 3

The parabolic function exists in the form \(x^{2}=4py\) or \(y^{2}=4px\). Your equation is the first case.
Basically, \(12y\) is also \(4py\), meaning \(12=4p\)

Answer 4

\(x^{2}=12y\text{ is equal to }x^{2}=4py\rightarrow 12y=4py\rightarrow 12=4p\)
