the parabola equation is y=(6/1225)x2,,,A=6/1225 found from point (35,6) and equation y=Ax2
The focus for this parabola is at x=0 with a height of yf=1/(4A)=1225/24=51and 1/24 feet.

asked 12/16/23A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. This means that it can be formed by rotating a parabola around its axis of symmetry. The receiver is to be located at the focus. If the dish is 72 feet across at its opening and 6 feet deep at its center, where should the receiver be placed?
