Question

The distance from a focus to a vertex on the graph of a parabola is not the same as the distance from vertex to a perpendicular point on the directrix.

True or false?

Answer 1

Hey there,

Your question is stating: The distance from a focus to a vertex on the graph of a parabola is not the same as the distance from vertex to a perpendicular point on the directrix.

True or false?

This would be a
`TRUE` statement. The distance from a focus to a vertex on the graph of a parabola is not the same as the distance from vertex to a perpendicular point on the directrix would be
`TRUE`.

Hope this helps.
