A searchlight is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. A light source is located 1 foot from the base along the axis of symmetry. If the opening of the searchlight is 6 fe across, find the depth. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) X ft Begin by drawing a diagram of the parabola, with vertex at the origin and a line segment representing the opening of the searchlight. Recall the standard form of the equation of an upward opening parabola with a vertex at the origin. Where is the focus of the parabola and what is its significance to the standard form of the equation can the given value of the width of the opening be used to determine the depth of the searchlight?
