Solve the problem.A satellite dish is in the shape of a parabolic surface. Signals coming from a satellite strike the surface of the dish and are reflected to the focus, where the receiver is located. The satellite dish shown has a diameter of 6 feet and a depth of 6 feet. The parabola is positioned in a rectangular coordinate system with its vertex at the origin. The receiver should be placed at the focus  The value of p is given by the equation  How far from the base of the dish should the receiver be placed?
