The equation of the directrix of the parabola given is x = 6, Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is Directrix of a Parabola ?</h3>

A parabola is a U shaped curve whose all point are at same distnace from a  point called as focus and a line called as Directrix .

The equation of the parabola given is

y² = -24x

When the standard equation of parabola is

 (y - k)² = 4p (x - h),

where the focus is (h + p, k) and the directrix is x = h - p.

here h = 0

p = -24/4 = -6

x =  0 - (-6)

x = 6

Therefore Option D is the correct answer.

Bob's truck averages 23 miles per gallon. If Bob is driving to his mother's house, 72 miles away, how many gallons of gas are ne
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

3.1 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to figure out how many gallons of gas go into 72 miles. We know 23 miles is equal to one gallon of gas, and given that the ratio of miles to gas stays the same, we can say that

miles of gas / gallons = miles of gas / gallons

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles / gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house

If we write the gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house as g, we can say

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles/g

multiply both sides by 1 gallon to remove a denominator

23 miles = 72 miles * 1 gallon /g

multiply both sides by g to remove the other denominator

23 miles * g = 72 miles * 1 gallon

divide both sides by 23 miles to isolate the g

g = 72 miles * 1 gallon/23 miles

= 72 / 23 gallons

≈ 3.1 gallons
