An engineer designs a satellite dish with a parabolic cross section. The dish is 15 ft wide at the opening, and the focus is placed 4 ft from the vertex.
a) Position a coordinate system with the origin at the vertex and the x-axis on the parabola s axis of symmetry and find an equation of the parabola.
b) Find the depth of the satellite dish at the vertex. |
