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.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

D: 768

Step-by-step explanation:

First, he divides a piece of paper in half.

1 \div  \frac{1}{2}  = 2

He gets two pieces.

Next, he cuts each of the pieces into three parts.

2 \div  \frac{1}{3}  = 6

Thirdly, he cuts each of the 6 pieces into 8 pieces.

6 \div  \frac{1}{8}  = 48

Lastly, he divides each piece into 16 parts.

48 \div  \frac{1}{16}  = 768

He has 768 pieces in the end. (D)
