Answer:
y =
The focus of the solar oven's reflector is (0,a)
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing figure( i.e diagram) from the question is attached below:
Now ; given that :
The focus of the sun's rays is at a point L = 5 inches away from the vertex of the reflector. Also the distance of the parabolic curve be a= L = 5
So the equation for a cross section of the oven's reflector with its focus on the
positive y axis and its vertex at the origin is expressed as:
x² = 4 L y
x² = 4 (5) y
x² = 20 y
y =
The focus of the solar oven's reflector is (0,a)
