The Cross Sections of a Certain Satellite Dish Are Parabolic d(x)=1425x2145xd ( x ) = \frac { 14 } { 25 } x ^ { 2 } - \frac { 14 } { 5 } x

Question 66

Multiple Choice

The cross sections of a certain satellite dish are parabolic in shape. A cross section through the vertex can be described by the equation d(x) =1425x2145xd ( x ) = \frac { 14 } { 25 } x ^ { 2 } - \frac { 14 } { 5 } x where d(x) is the depth of the dish (in feet) at a distance of x ft from the edge of the dish. How deep Is the satellite dish?


A) The satellite dish is 614ft6 \frac { 1 } { 4 } \mathrm { ft } deep.
B) The satellite dish is 5ft5 \mathrm { ft } deep.
C) The satellite dish is 312ft3 \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { ft } deep.
D) The satellite dish is 245ft2 \frac { 4 } { 5 } \mathrm { ft } deep.
