Solar Energy 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, the y-axis, and the origin.
