Q.4 An engineer designs a satellite dish with a parabolic cross section. The dish os 5m wide at the opening, and the focus is placed 1.2m from the vertex (a) Position a coordinates system with the origin at the vertex and the x-axis on the parabola's axis of symmetry and find an equation of the parabola. (b) Find the depth of the satellite dish at the vertex.
