Solve the Problem 3.83.8 Meters in Diameter, That Collects Light from Space

Question 129

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The quality of the images from an orbital telescope result from a large parabolic mirror, 3.83.8 meters in diameter, that collects light from space.

Suppose that a coordinate system is chosen so that the vertex of a cross section through the center of is located at (0,0) ( 0,0 ) . Furthermore, the focal length of the mirror is 56.8 m56.8 \mathrm {~m} . Assume that xx and yy are in meters. Write an equation of the parabolic cross section of the mirror for 1.9x1.9- 1.9 \leq x \leq 1.9 .


A) x2=113.6yx ^ { 2 } = 113.6 y for 1.9x1.9- 1.9 \leq x \leq 1.9
B) x2=56.8yx ^ { 2 } = 56.8 y for 1.9x1.9- 1.9 \leq x \leq 1.9
C) y2=227.2xy ^ { 2 } = 227.2 x for 1.9y1.9- 1.9 \leq y \leq 1.9
D) x2=227.2yx ^ { 2 } = 227.2 y for 1.9x1.9- 1.9 \leq x \leq 1.9
