    This document contains three pre-calculus problems about parabolas: 1) sketching three parabolas defined by equations and identifying their vertex, focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry; 2) calculating the diameter of a satellite dish shaped like a paraboloid given its depth at the vertex and distance of the receiver from the vertex; 3) calculating the height of a suspension bridge cable 120m from the tower, given the towers are 1200m apart and 170m above the bridge, and the cable's lowest point is 20m above the bridge.

    PRE-CALCULUS - Parabolas
    Group 4 - Session 1

    1. Determine the vertex, focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry of the parabola with the given
    equation. Sketch the graph, and include these points and lines.
    a. x2 = −4y b. 3y2 = 24x c. y2 − 12x + 8y = −40
    2. A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid, with the receiver placed at the focus. It is to have a
    depth of 0.5 m at the vertex, with the receiver placed 0.15 m away from the vertex. What should
    the diameter of the satellite dish be?
    3. The towers supporting the cable of a suspension bridge are 1200 m apart and 170 m above the
    bridge it supports. Suppose the cable hangs, following the shape of a parabola, with its lowest point
    20 m above the bridge. How high is the cable 120 m away from a tower?
