Amirror with a parabolic cross section is used to collect sunlight on a pipe located at the focus of the mirror. the pipe is located 8 inches from the vertex of the mirror. write an equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror. assume that the parabola opens upward.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  A mirror with a parabolic cross section is used to collect sunlight on a pipe located at the focus of the mirror.

The pipe is located 8 inches from the vertex of the mirror.

Assume the vertex is at the origin.

If the parabola opens upwards

then the coordinates of focus= (0,8)

We know that equation of parabola with focus (0,a) and open upards is of the form (vertex=(0,0)) is

Substitute the value of a=8 in equation, we get

Therefore, equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror is

step-by-step explanation:

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
