Simplify the equation

given : the shape of his satellite can be modeled by   where x and y are modeled in inches.

now,the given equation   is a equation of parabola.

here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

on comparing this equation with standard equation , we get

in standard equation, coordinates of focus=(0,m)

thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(0,1.5)

step-by-step explanation:

there should be an link icon on the bottom of the text box you get. it looks like a paperclip!

6+6=12 so that just tells you what it is one half is 6 the next one is 6
