II. DIRECTIONS: Answer the problems below and write your complete solution on the space provided each item.
You may use the back page if necessary. (5 points each problem)
Problem 1. A parabola has focus F( - 2, - 5) and directrix x = 6. Find the standard equation of the parabola

Problem 2. A satellite dish has a shape called a paraboloid, where each cross-section is a parabola. Since radio signals
(parallel to the axis) will bounce off the surface of the dish to the focus, the receiver should be placed at the focus. How
far should the receiver be from the vertex, if the dish is 12 ft across, and 4.5 ft deep at the vertex? Refer to the figure
below.
