Activity 4 A.) An ellipse is the set of points such that the sum of distance from two fixed point constant. The two fixed points are called foci. • Use graph paper like that shown. It contains two small circles and a series of concentric circles from each. The concentric circles are tangent to each other as shown. • Choose the constant 13. Mark the points at the intersections of circle 9 and circle 4, because 9 + 4 = 13. Continue this process until you have marked the intersection of all circles whose sum is 13. || • Connect the points to form a smooth curve. The curve is an ellipse whose foci are the centers of the two small circles on the graph paper. Circles in the figure are named by letters, circle 1 is circle c, circle 2 is circle d, and so on and so forth

QUESTION 47 The vertex of cross-section of a design for a travel-sized solar fire starter is distanced 2.0 inches from the igniter . The sun's rays reflect off the parabolic mirror toward an object attached to the igniter. Because the igniter is located at the focus of the parabola, the reflected rays cause the object to burn in just seconds. a) Find the equation of the parabola that models the fire starter. Assume that the vertex of the parabolic mirror is the origin of the coordinate plane. b) Use the equation found in part (a) to find the depth of the fire starter at x=3.0 in. O A. a) y = 2(x-2)2, (b) 5/8 in OB. a) y =(1/8)x2, (b) 9/8 in O C. a) y = x²/2 (b) 12 in O D. a) y = (1/4)x2, (b) 24/9 in O E. a) y = 8x², (b) 5/9 in
