True. In a parabola, any point on the curve is equidistant from the focus and the directrix. This means that while the distances to the focus and directrix are equal for points on the parabola, they are different distances from any point not on the parabola.

The directrix and focus are different distances from a given point on the parabola. A. True B. False?

FALSE. One of the definitions of a parabola, and also a means of drawing it, is that EVERY point on it is equidistant from the focus and the directrix.

Although the locus of points idea can be used to define a straight line and circle more complex shapes such as parabolas must be defined a different way. True or False?

Certainly false for parabolae; a parabola is the locus of points in a plane which are equidistant from a point (the focus) and a line (the directrix) in that plane. It's also false for an ellipse, which is the locus of points in a plane where the sum of the distances from two other points in that plane (the foci) is constant. AND false for a hyperbola, which is the locus of points in a plane where the absolute value of the DIFFERENCE in the distance from two points in that plane (also the foci) is constant. Alternatively, a hyperbola is the locus of points in a plane where the ratio of the distance to one of the foci and to a line (the directrix) is constant (which is larger than 1; if it's exactly equal to 1, you get a parabola instead).All of these are only slightly more complicated than circles, and in fact they, alone with circles, are called "conic sections" because they all are formed by the intersection of a plane with a right circular conical surface.


A parabola always has at least one and at most two zeros?

Nope. False.


When graphed x 4 - 2x2 - 5x plus 6 makes a parabola true or false?

Since it contains 2x^2, which means twice the square of x, its graph will be a parabola, as will all functions containing x squared, but no higher power.

Is this statement true or false Longitude lines are imaginary lines that measure distances south and north of the equator.?

False. Longitude lines are imaginary lines that measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian. The lines that measure distances north and south of the equator are called latitude lines.

Is this statement true or false an indirect measurement is used to find distances that cannot be measured directly?

True. An indirect measurement is indeed used to determine distances that cannot be easily measured directly, often through the use of mathematical calculations or principles such as similar triangles, trigonometry, or other geometric methods. This approach allows for the estimation of distances based on known measurements and relationships between different elements.
