Let's solve each part of the problem step by step.

### 1. Discuss and sketch the graphs of the conic sections.

#### (a) $$ 63 y^{2}+42 y-18 x^{2}+36 x \sqrt{2}=155 $$

1. **Rearranging the equation:**
   $$
   63 y^{2} + 42 y - 18 x^{2} + 36 x \sqrt{2} - 155 = 0
   $$

2. **Identifying the conic section:**
   - The equation has both $$ y^{2} $$ and $$ x^{2} $$ terms, indicating it could be a hyperbola or an ellipse. 
   - To determine the type, we can rewrite it in standard form.

3. **Completing the square for $$ y $$ and $$ x $$:**
   - For $$ y $$:
     $$
     63(y^{2} + \frac{42}{63}y) = 63(y^{2} + \frac{2}{3}y) = 63\left(y + \frac{1}{3}\right)^{2} - 7
     $$
   - For $$ x $$:
     $$
     -18(x^{2} - 2\sqrt{2}x) = -18\left((x - \sqrt{2})^{2} - 2\right) = -18(x - \sqrt{2})^{2} + 36
     $$

4. **Substituting back:**
   $$
   63\left(y + \frac{1}{3}\right)^{2} - 7 - 18(x - \sqrt{2})^{2} + 36 - 155 = 0
   $$
   $$
   63\left(y + \frac{1}{3}\right)^{2} - 18(x - \sqrt{2})^{2} - 126 = 0
   $$
   $$
   \frac{63\left(y + \frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}}{126} - \frac{18(x - \sqrt{2})^{2}}{126} = 1
   $$
   $$
   \frac{\left(y + \frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}}{2} - \frac{(x - \sqrt{2})^{2}}{7} = 1
   $$

5. **Conclusion:**
   - This is a hyperbola centered at $$ (\sqrt{2}, -\frac{1}{3}) $$ with $$ a^2 = 2 $$ and $$ b^2 = 7 $$.

#### (b) $$ 25 y^{2}+100 y-4 x^{2}-48 x-44=0 $$

1. **Rearranging the equation:**
   $$
   25 y^{2} + 100 y - 4 x^{2} - 48 x - 44 = 0
   $$

2. **Identifying the conic section:**
   - Similar to part (a), we will complete the square.

3. **Completing the square for $$ y $$ and $$ x $$:**
   - For $$ y $$:
     $$
     25(y^{2} + 4y) = 25((y + 2)^{2} - 4) = 25(y + 2)^{2} - 100
     $$
   - For $$ x $$:
     $$
     -4(x^{2} + 12x) = -4((x + 6)^{2} - 36) = -4(x + 6)^{2} + 144
     $$

4. **Substituting back:**
   $$
   25(y + 2)^{2} - 100 - 4(x + 6)^{2} + 144 - 44 = 0
   $$
   $$
   25(y + 2)^{2} - 4(x + 6)^{2} = 0
   $$

5. **Conclusion:**
   - This is a degenerate conic (a pair of lines) since it can be factored.

### 2. Conic section with given properties.

#### (a) Write down the conic section's equation.

1. **Given properties:**
   - Center: $$ (\sqrt{2}, -1) $$
   - Eccentricity: $$ e = \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2} $$
   - Distance between foci and directrices: $$ \frac{7}{3} $$

2. **Finding $$ a $$ and $$ b $$:**
   - The distance between foci $$ 2c = 7 $$ implies $$ c = \frac{7}{2} $$.
   - Using $$ c = ae $$, we have:
     $$
     \frac{7}{2} = a \cdot \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2} \implies a = \frac{7}{3\sqrt{2}} = \frac{7\sqrt{2}}{6}
     $$
   - Now, $$ b = \sqrt{c^2 - a^2} $$:
     $$
     c^2 = \left(\frac{7}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{49}{4}, \quad a^2 = \left(\frac{7\sqrt{2}}{6}\right)^2 = \frac{49 \cdot 2}{36} = \frac{98}{36} = \frac{49}{18}
     $$
     $$
     b^2 = \frac{49}{4} - \frac{49}{18} = \frac{49 \cdot 9 - 49 \cdot 4}{36} = \frac{49(9 - 4)}{36} = \frac{49 \cdot 5}{36} = \frac{245}{36}
     $$

3. **Equation of the hyperbola:**
   $$
   \frac{(x - \sqrt{2})^2}{\left(\frac{7\sqrt{2}}{6}\right)^2} - \frac{(y + 1)^2}{\frac{245}{36}} = 1
   $$

#### (b) Write down the equations of directrices.

1. **Directrices for a hyperbola:**
   - The directrices are given by $$ x = h \pm \frac{a}{e} $$:
   $$
   \frac{7\sqrt{2}}{6} \div \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{7}{9}
   $$
   - Thus, the equations of the directrices are:
   $$
   x = \sqrt{2} \pm \frac{7}{9}

1. **Conic Sections:** - **(a)** The equation $$63 y^{2}+42 y-18 x^{2}+36 x \sqrt{2}=155$$ represents a hyperbola centered at $$ (\sqrt{2}, -\frac{1}{3}) $$ with $$ a^2 = 2 $$ and $$ b^2 = 7 $$. - **(b)** The equation $$25 y^{2}+100 y-4 x^{2}-48 x-44=0$$ is a degenerate conic, specifically a pair of lines. 2. **Conic Section with Given Properties:** - **(a)** The equation of the hyperbola is: \[ \frac{(x - \sqrt{2})^2}{\left(\frac{7\sqrt{2}}{6}\right)^2} - \frac{(y + 1)^2}{\frac{245}{36}} = 1 $$ - **(b)** The equations of the directrices are: $$ x = \sqrt{2} \pm \frac{7}{9} $$ 3. **Semi-Elliptical Arch Tunnel:** - The height of the arch 4 metres from the edge is 10 metres.
