A concert stage has a parabolic roof. The front edge of theroof is defined by the equation ℎ(?) = −1/8?^2 + 8, where ? isthe horizontal distance from the centre and ℎ is the height,both in metres. A vertical lighting tower is built at ? = 9.Coloured laser lights are installed at various intervals goingup the tower. The beams of light are to shine on the frontedge of the roof, with their paths defined by the following equations.Blue: 6? + 8? − 73 = 0 . Green: ? + 2? − 17 = 0Orange: ? + ? − 10 = 0 . Red: 4? + 8? − 83 = 0
Question: Determine the coordinates of any point(s) of intersection of each laser beam with the edge of the roof. All but one of these laser beams share a common property. Describe the property.
