An engineer is making adjustments on a satellite, because he finds it is not focusing the incoming radio waves perfectly. The shape of his satellite can be modeled by the equation (y − 3)2 = 2(x − 2), where x and y are measured in inches. He realizes the static is a result of the feed antenna shifting lightly off the focus point. How many inches in front of the vertex should the feed antenna be?
