We have the next equation

[tex]y=x^2+6[/tex]

First, we need to find the focus of this parabola the vertice is in (0,6)

[tex]4p\mleft(y-k\mright)=\mleft(x-h\mright)^2[/tex]

where in our case h =0, k=6

[tex]4\cdot\frac{1}{4}(y-6)=x^2[/tex]

Therefore the focus will be

[tex](0,6+\frac{1}{4})=(0,\frac{25}{4})[/tex]

Then for Latus Rectum is located between the next points

[tex](-0.5,\frac{25}{4})\text{ and (}0.5,\frac{24}{5}\text{)}[/tex]

the latus Rectum

[tex]4p=4(\frac{1}{4})=1[/tex]

the length of the latus rectum is 1
