Question 1060769: A parabolic arch supports a bridge. The arch is 200 m wide at its base and 4 m tall in the middle.
a) Show this information on a graph by placing the vertex on the y-axis so that the x-axis represents the base of the arch
b) How high is a point on the arch that is 20 m horizontally from one end?

A parabolic arch supports a bridge. The arch is 200 m wide at its base and 4 m tall in the middle.
a) Show this information on a graph by placing the vertex on the y-axis so that the x-axis represents the base of the arch
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vertex (0,4);
Horizontal Axis Intercepts (0,-100) and (0,100).
The vertex will indicate a standard form like ;
and the zeros indicate something like .
The two expressions for y should be equal.
You may choose possible equations as
