    The document describes a problem involving a parabolic car headlight reflector that is 6 inches wide at its opening and 3 inches deep. To locate the filament bulb at the focus of the parabola, it should be placed 3/4 inches from the vertex. The solution draws the parabola and uses the equation x^2 = 4py to determine that for the given point (3,3) on the reflector, p = 3/4. Therefore, the distance to the focus and optimal bulb placement is 3/4 inches from the vertex.
