The distance from the green point on the parabola to the parabola's focus is 9 what is the distance from the green point to the directrix?

The correct answer is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the green point on the parabola be P.

Let the focus of the parabola be F.

Let M be the point on the directrix where the perpendicular from P intersects.

We know that for a conic, and for a parabola, e = 1.

So,

FP = PM

It is given that the distance between the green point and the focus is 9.

That is, FP = 9.

So, PM = 9.

Hence, the distance between the green point and the directrix = 9.

hi there!

the answer to this question is d: 35

step-by-step explanation:

5 to the power of 2 is 25

2 multiplied by 5 is 10

then you add the 2 numbers and you get 35
