Jim sets a course in his fishing boat that can be modeled by the equation 4x^2+9y^2=36. Janice has her sailboat on a path that can be modeled by the equation x^2-4y^2=9. Janice wonders whether there is a danger of colliding.

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)
