Resolve the #2 illustrative problem using the equations for a parabola. (y=Ax²+Bx+C)
Note: Your solution should not include the use of the grade diagram for the required. (#1a & #1b, & #2)

Transcribed Image Text:2. A grade line Al having a sape of 55 intersect anofther grade ine BC having a
skope of -3% at 8. The elevations of points A. B and Core 95 m 100 m ond 97 m
respectively. Determine the elevation of the summit of the 100 m poratolic vertical
curve to connect the grade ines.

Transcribed Image Text:Horizontal distance between A and B- (100 - 95)/0.05 = 100 m
Horizontal distance between B and C= (100 - 97)/0.03 = 100 m
