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:
