The value of the directrix is -5/4.

According to the statement

we have given that the equation of parabola is y2 = 5x. And we have to find that the which equation represents the directrix.

We know that the general equation of parabola is

(y - k)2 = 4a(x - h) -(1)

and given parabola equation is

y2 = 5x. -(2)

After comparing the both equations we get k=0 and h=0

And the formula to find the directrix is

x = h - a

Substitute the values of h and a in it then

x = 0-5/4

x = -5/4.

Here the directrix is -5/4.

So, The value of the directrix is -5/4.

The absolute value of a number $x$ is the positive version of that number. So, if $x$ is positive, its absolute value is $x$ itself. If $x$ is negative, its absolute value is $-x$ , so that it will be positive again.

So, if the absolute value of a number is smaller than a certain quantity, i.e. $|x|$ it means that the positive version of $x$ is less than $a$ .

So, if $x$ is positive, the inequality becomes $x$ . If $x$ is negative, the inequality becomes $-x-a$ .

So, as a compound inequality, we have

$|x|$

So, in your case, we have

$|x-8|$

Add 8 to all sides in this inequality:

$8-0.01 < x < 8+0.01 \iff 7.79 < x$

So, on a number line, you must higlight all numbers between 7.79 and 8.01, endpoints excluded.

Conceptually, this means that the bolt measurement should be exactly 8mm, but you can accept bolts that are 0.01 millimeters shorter of larger.
