Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational
denominator.

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )

given : the shape of his satellite can be modeled by   where x and y are modeled in inches.

now,the given equation   is a equation of parabola.

here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

on comparing this equation with standard equation , we get

in standard equation, coordinates of focus=(0,m)

thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(0,1.5)

step-by-step explanation:
