A Solar Oven Uses a Parabolic Reflector to Focus the Sun's

Question 53

Multiple Choice

A solar oven uses a parabolic reflector to focus the sun's rays at a point 5 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 5 inches from the vertex of the reflector (see figure) .   L = 5 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 = \frac { 1 } { 5 } x ^ { 2 }  ​ B)   y = 5 x ^ { 2 }  C)   y = 20 x ^ { 2 }  ​ D)   x ^ { 2 } = 20 y  E)   x ^ { 2 } = 5 y L = 5 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=15x2y = \frac { 1 } { 5 } x ^ { 2 }
B) y=5x2y = 5 x ^ { 2 }
C) y=20x2y = 20 x ^ { 2 }
D) x2=20yx ^ { 2 } = 20 y
E) x2=5yx ^ { 2 } = 5 y
