Grades of g₁ = -2.50% and 92 = +1.50%, VPI elevation 860.00 ft at station 22 +00, and a fixed elevation 864.00 ft at station 20 + 50. Field conditions require a highway curve to pass through a fixed point. Compute a suitable equal-tangent vertical curve and full-station elevations. Give the elevations in order of increasing X. Express your answers in feet to five significant figures separated by commas.
