Answer:
The depth of the reflector is 0.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>(See the figure below)</em>
The equation of a parabola centered at the origin with an axis of symmetry on y-axis is:
(1)
With p the distance from the origin to the focus using p=6, the equation (1) of the parabola becomes:
(2)
Note that the point B is on the parabola, so this point should satisfy the parabola equation (2) that allow us to use the value x=4.5 to find the y value associated to it, that it is the depth (h) of the reflector:
, solving for y

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportional functions are of the form y=kx where k is the constant of proportionality.
k=y/x in this case
k=1008/3.5
k=288

Is that the Algebra work/practice book? If so, go into algebra nation and they have videos where they go step by step through the questions. Hope this helps?
(x1,y1)=(0,6)
(x2,y2)=(6,0)
slope=(0-6)/(6-0)=0
