Question 16 • Precalculus

Aramis 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 open paren x minus 4 close paren squared is equal to 3 times open paren y minus 3 close paren , where x and y are measured in inches. He realizes that the static is a result of the feed antenna shifting slightly off the focus point. Where should the feed antenna be placed?

Answer
A
0 point 7 5 in. to the right of the vertex
B
0 point 7 5 in. below the vertex
C
0 point 7 5 in. above the vertex
D
0 point 7 5 in. to the left of the vertex
