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 equation is not setup properly, possibly it is your teacher's fault.

From external research, I would say the answer is x = -12.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: $33,007.9\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The plane is cruising at an altitude of $h=10,200\ ft$

The angle of depression is $\theta=18^{\circ}$

Suppose the distance of the plane to the runway is x

from figure

$\Rightarrow \sin 18^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow \sin 18^{\circ}=\dfrac{10,200}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=33,007.9\ ft$
