Question 307

Multiple Choice

A solar oven uses a parabolic reflector to focus the sun's rays at a point 7 inches from the vertex of the reflector (see figure) .  A solar oven uses a parabolic reflector to focus the sun's rays at a point 7 inches from the vertex of the reflector (see figure) .   L = 7 inches  Write an equation for a cross section of the oven's reflector with its focus on the positive y axis and its vertex at the origin. A)   y = 28 x ^ { 2 }  B)   y = \frac { 1 } { 7 } x ^ { 2 }  C)   x ^ { 2 } = 28 y  D)   y ^ { 2 } = 7 x  E)   x ^ { 2 } = 7 y L = 7 inches
Write an equation for a cross section of the oven's reflector with its focus on the positive y axis and its vertex at the origin.


A) y=28x2y = 28 x ^ { 2 }
B) y=17x2y = \frac { 1 } { 7 } x ^ { 2 }
C) x2=28yx ^ { 2 } = 28 y
D) y2=7xy ^ { 2 } = 7 x
E) x2=7yx ^ { 2 } = 7 y
