Answer:

y= \frac{1}{28} x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A mirror with a parabolic cross section is used to collect sunlight on a pipe located at the focus of the mirror.

The pipe is located 7 inches from the vertex of the mirror.

The parabola is open upwards . the vertex of the parabola is (0,0)

and pipe is located 7 inches from the vertex (0,0)

7 inches is the focus of the mirror

The distance between the vertex and the focus = 7

Since parabola is upwards and vertex is (0,0) we use formula

4py = x^2

Where p is the distance between the vertex and focus

p = 7 we know

4*7*y = x^2

28y = x^2

Now isolate y by dividing 28 on both sides

y= \frac{1}{28} x^2
