Aramis is adjusting a satellite because he finds it is not focusing the incoming radio waves perfectly. The shape of his satelli

te can be modeled by (x - 4)^2 = 3(y - 3), where x and y are modeled in inches. He realizes that the static is a result of the feed antenna shifting slightly off the focus point. Where should the feed antenna be placed?
A. 0.75 in. below the vertex
B. 0.75 in. to the right of the vertex
C. 0.75 in. to the left of the vertex
D. 0.75 in. above the vertex

Given the equation of the parabola

(x-4)^2=3(y-3).

The vertex of this parabola is placed at point (4,3).

If the equation of the parabola is (x-x_0)^2=2p(y-y_0), then

2p=3,\\ \\p=1.5.

The coordinates of the parabola focus are

\left(x_0,y_0+\dfrac{p}{2}\right).

Therefore, the focus is placed at point (4,3,75).

Answer: option D, 0.75 in. above the vertex

Answer:

The correct option is D) 0.75 in. above the vertex.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

(x-4)^2=3(y-3)

The general equation of the parabola is:

(x-x_0)^2=4p(y-y_0)

Where, p is the focus of the parabola and (x₀,y₀) is the vertex of the parabola .

Now by comparing we can concluded that:

The vertex of the parabola is (4,3)

3=4p\\ p=\frac{3}{4}\\ p=0.75

We have to shift the antenna towards the focus point. The focus point would be:   (x₀,y₀+p)=(4,3+0.75)= (4,3.75).

Hence, the correct option is D) 0.75 in. above the vertex.

What are some real life situations using system of equations?

Bob's car rental company makes you pay 10 dollars per day you rent the car and a 30 dollar insurance fee

joe's car rental company makes you pay 30 dollars per day you rent the car and a 10 dollar insurance fee

how many days do you need to rent a car for the cost for renting both are the same

bob=10x+30
joe=30x+10
set each to each other
10x+30=30x+10
subtract 10x
30=20x+10
subtract 10
20=20x
divide both sides by 20
1=x
you need to rent 1 day for them to be equal
