Assume the parabola is placed on a graph where the x-axis is the top of the dish.
The vertex is then at (0,-30) The x-intercepts or zeros are at (-30,0) and (30,0)
The equation of such parabola would be:
Plug in vertex to find value of 'a'
Now find the focus given that
Answer: the microphone should be placed 7.5 inches from vertex.

This problem is about the distance between points, in this case, we have to unidimensional coordinates, that is, point O is at -2, and Point V is at 1/2.
It's important to know that the proper way to find the distance here is by subtraction, we need to subtract the final points and the initial point. In math, such subtraction is called "differential" or "variation", just a fancy name.
