Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given parabolic mirror opens upwards and vertex=(0,0)
Focus point of the parabolic mirror is located 2 inches from the vertex of the mirror. ∴ p=2
Since, the parabola opens upward, then the equation of the parabola is of the form 
Substitute the value of p=2 in this, we get the equation of the parabolic mirror
Hence, the equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror is

Answer:
The shorter piece x = 8.4 in
The longer one y = 15.6 in
Step-by-step explanation:
If we cut a string length L in to unequal pieces we get two pieces
first one with length x and the other one with length y
Let call x the smaller piece, then y = L - x will be the longer one
If x = 35 % then
x = 0,35* L and
y = L - x = L - 0,35*L ⇒ y = 0,65 L ⇒ y = 0.65*24
Now if L = 24 in
x = 0,35*24 ⇒ x = 8.4 in
and
L - x = 0.65*L ⇒ L - x = 0.65*24 y = L - x = 15.6 in
as way of verification you can add the length of the two pieces and find:
8.4 + 15.6 = 24 in
What’s the numbers or do you have a picture?
