Mr. carter has 54 square tiles how should he arrange them so that he has the smallest perimeter? 9 x 6 rectangle 26 x 2 rectangle one by 54 rectangle or
18 x 3 rectangle?

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:
