The solar electric generating systems at Kramer Junction, California, use parabolic troughs to heat a heat-transfer fluid

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.

The solar electric generating systems at Kramer Junction, California, use


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

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