An engineer sketches a design for a flashlight that uses a mirror in the shape of a parabola to maximize the output of the light. The function representing the mirror is graphed on the left. Which function models the situation?
Answer
A
f(x) = (x – 6)2 + 2
B
f(x) = –(x – 0)2 + 20C
f(x) = 3(x – 6)2 + 2D
f(x) = –3(x – 0)2 + 20
