4. An engineer needs to design a square-based berm ( a shallow container to prevent the spread of oil from a leaking oil tank). The cylindrical oil tank is 15 m in diameter, and has a height of 25 m. The berm must have a height of 4 m. Make the appropriate calculations and find the minimum dimensions of the berm.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=2%28x%5E2-13x%2B36%29
y=2%28x-4%29%28x-9%29----------------the answer for part (b)
Zeros at x for 4 and for 9.
Symmetry axis will be at the vertical line, x=6%261%2F2.
You can use this to find the vertex point.
