Solve the problem. The quality of the images from an orbital telescope result from a large parabolic mirror, 3.8 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 the mirror is located at (0, 0). Furthermore, the focal length of the mirror is 56.8m. Assume that x and y are in meters. Write an equation of the parabolic cross section of the mirror for -1.9 ≤ x ≤ 1.9. Select one: O a. x² = = 227.2y for -1.9 ≤ x ≤ 1.9 O b. x² = 113.6y for -1.9 ≤ x ≤ 1.9 O c. x² = 56.8y for -1.9 ≤ x ≤ 1.9 O d. y² = 227,2x for -1.9 ≤ y ≤ 1,9
