(a) Sketch the bridge on a rectangular coordinate system with the cables touching the roadway at the origin. Label the coordinates of the known points. (b) Write an equation that models the cables.arrow_forward
- Write the equation of a parabola that opens up or down in standard form and the equation of a parabola that opens left or right in standard form. Provide a sketch of the parabola for each one, label the vertex and axis of symmetry.arrow_forwardRoad Design Roads are often designed with parabolic surfaces to allow rain to drain off. A particular road is 32 feet wide and 0.4 foot higher in the center than it is on the sides (see figure). (a) Write an equation of the parabola with its vertex at the origin that models the road surface. (b) How far from the center of the road is the road surface 0.1 foot lower than the center?arrow_forwardWading Pool You are building a wading pool that is in the shape of an ellipse. An equation for the elliptical shape of the pool is x2/324+y2/196=1, where x and y are measured in feet. Find the longest distance across the pool, the shortest distance, and the distance between the foci.arrow_forward
- Designing arches The engineer designing a parabolic arch knows that its equation has the form y=ax2+bx+c. Use this information in the illustration to find a,bandc. Assume that the distances are given in feet. Hint: The coordinates of points on the parabola satisfy its equationarrow_forwardWriting equation of the parabolas Derive the equation of the parabolic arch shown.arrow_forward
