Question

A mirror is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution and will be used to
concentrate the rays of the sun at its focus, creating a heat source. (See
the figure.) If the mirror is 20 feet across at its opening and is 6 feet
deep, where will the heat source be concentrated?
Sun's
rays
20
The heat source will be concentrated about
feet above the bottom of the mirror.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
