document.write( "Question 1195588: The city wants to dig a tunnel under the New York canal to create another underground road to clear up the heavy traffic the city has been experiencing lately. The blueprints show that the tunnels path is demonstrated by the quadratic relation h = 0.25d2 - 2.5d + 2.75. All of these (d represents horizontal distance in kilometers, h represents height in meters).\r
