Now you need to use you equation to figure out what the height of the bridge is on either side of the boat to see if they will collide. It doesn't matter if you use the left side or the right side since it's symmetric.

Question
A man wants to take his boat to a section of river he hasn't seen but there is a bridge he must pass under. Help determine if the boat can make it or needs to turn around. He knows it's a parabolic arch (see pics below, not to scale) and says "Maximum Height: 10 Feet" on the sign above and the width of the river is 16 feet in that part. His boat is 12 feet wide and the deck sits 4 feet above the surface of the water.

Now you need to use you equation to figure out what the height of the bridge is on either side of the boat to see if they will collide. It doesn't matter if you use the left side or the right side since it's symmetric. The height of the bridge on one side of the boat, rounded to one decimal place: The height of the boat: 4 Will the boat make it under the bridge? (Answer yes or no)
