Answer: x^2=8y


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 x^2=4py

Substitute the value of p=2 in this, we get the equation of the parabolic mirror

x^2=4(2)y\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=8y

Hence, the equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror is x^2=8y

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that all lengths in a rhombus are equal so we make the 2 equations equal to each other, then solve for x:

4x-6=5x-10

5x-4x=10-6

x=4

x=4
