Concept explainers

Maximization
Have you ever seen a bridge in the shape of a parabola? Where is its maximum on the bridge? The maximum of that bridge is the highest point on that bridge. The process of finding the maximum of the bridge here is called the maximization.
Question

The solar electric generating systems at Kramer Junction,California,use parabolic troughs to heat a heat-transfer fluid to a high temperature.This fluid is used to generate steam that drives a power conversion system to produce electricity. For troughs 7.5 feet wide, an equation for the cross-section is 16y2=120x-225 .

(a) Find the intercepts of the graph of the equation.

(b) Test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis,y-axis,and origin
