Solve the problem. -A satellite dish is in the shape of a parabolic surface. Signals coming from a satellite strike the surface of the dish and are reflected to the focus, where the receiver is located. The satellite dish shown has a diameter of 10 feet and a depth of 7 feet. The parabola is positioned in a rectangular coordinate system with its vertex at the origin. The receiver should be placed at the focus (0,p)( 0 , \mathrm { p } ) . The value of p\mathrm { p } is given by the equation a=14p\mathrm { a } = \frac { 1 } { 4 \mathrm { p } } . How far from the base of the dish should the receiver be placed?
