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 $x^2=8y$

mafiozo [28]

Answer with explanation:

To solve , f(x)=g(x)

The three methods that we generally use to solve above equation is

1.→ Graphing technology

2.→Tables of values

3.→Successive approximation

→If you will use "Table of values" ,you will substitute the value of x in both f(x) and g(x) ,so after hit and trial you can find exact value of x, where , f(x)=g(x).

→The method of "Successive approximation" is used by selecting an Interval and then values of x are substituted from the interval to calculate the exact value of x for which, f(x)=g(x) by hit and trial method.Little bit lengthier and time consuming.

→ "Graphing technology"=Draw graph of both f(x) and g(x) .The point where these two function intersect gives the value of x.Tough to draw the graph of some function but gives exact answer once you have accomplished the drawing of Graph.

⇒"Graphing technology" is the method that would be preferred to calculate ,f(x)=g(x), to calculate x.
