Franco is adjusting a satellite because he finds it is not focusing the incoming radio waves perfectly. the shape of his satellite can be modeled by y^2+6y-3x+3=0 where x and y are modeled in inches. he realizes that the static is a result of the feed antenna shifting slightly off the focus point. what is the focus point of the satellite?

We have to find the focus of the parabola with equation:



In order to find the focus, we first need to convert the equation of parabola to its standard form, as shown below:



Comparing this equation to the similar general equation of parabola, we get:



k = -3
p= 3/4
h = - 2

The focus of the general parabola is located at ( h+p, k)

Using the values, we get:

Focus of the given parabolic satellite =
