Question
5. The arch of a bridge forms a parabola with the equation
y =-0.00188x2 + 946x- 49
where y is the height above the roadway in metres and x is the horizontal distance in metres
from where the ends of the arch meet the water.
Use Desmos to graph the function, then answer the following questions.
a) What is the maximum height of the bridge above the roadway?
b) What is the maximum height of the bridge above the water?
c) How wide is the bridge?
d) What is the horizontal distance between where the arch meets the water and where the
arch passes the roadway?
