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.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 10 ft long. the shorter leg is 2ft shorter than the longer leg. find the side lengths of t
Gwar [14]
Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.

There must be fewer than 12 visitors in each tour group.
Black_prince [1.1K]
If there must be LESS than 12 people in the tour group, then it would automatically take out the n>12 because n>12 represents n being MORE than 12, so your answer would be n<12. I hope you aren't totally confused, and good luck on the test!!! I am working on my math skills and I just did this quiz, so the answer is in fact, <. Make me brainliest please, would truly help.
