A) x = 0.296

B) x= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

(2/3) : x :: 4.5 :2

By using expansion method,

(2/3) × 2 = 4.5 x

x= (2/3) × 2 / 4.5

x = 0.296

Step 2:

(2/3) : (1/5) :: 50 :x

By using expansion method,

(2/3) x = (1/5) × 50

x= (1/5) × 50 / (2/3)

x = 15

yan [13]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following equation of a parabola, given in the problem above:

x<span>=1/16y^2

2. Then, based on the graph attached, you have:

p=y^2/4x
p=8^2/(4)(4)
p=64/16
p=4

3. The directrix is:

directrix=h-p
directrix=0-4
directrix=-4

The answer is:-4</span>
