Answer:

y = 1/8* x^2  

y = 1/(4p) * x^2 = 1/(4*2) *x^2

p = 2  

(0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rene must feed the antenna at focus, a (0,2) .

Rene design satellite of parabolic shape with diameter of 8 m and depth of 2 point where Rene can feed the antenna to be determine.

What is parabola?

A parabola, is cross section cut out of the cone


Equation of the parabola which opens upward,
y = 1/8x²
y = 1/(4a) * x²
y = 1/(4*2) *x²

comparing with y =1/(4*a)*x²
a = 2
Focus of the parabola = (0, 2)

Thus, Rene must feed the antenna at focus, a (0,2).
