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.

i have no freakin idea
The only geometric objects which can be defined using the locus of points idea is a straight line circle and angle bisector?
False, other geometric objects exist which can be defined as a parrticular locus of points, such as the parabola and the hyperbola.
True or false country roads may require a different approach than driving in the city?
True.
Right triangle cannot be scalene is it true or false?
A scalene triangle is one that has three lengths of different sizes. It is quite possible for a right triangle to have three sides of different length.
One is the additive identity true or false?
False.

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.
Imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator are lines of?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
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.

true
In television share refers to artists appearing on different shows?
False
True or False if a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then it bisects that chord?
true, because both distances of the chord are congruent
Diffusion of materials over long distance is fast true or false?
False, its slower.
