A bridge is to be built across a waterway which is fty feet wide and is frequented by ships. The bridge design team determines that a parabolic opening underneath the bridge is the best possible option for both structure and functionality (keeping the waterway passable by ships while still being safe for vehicles to travel across).


If parabolic opening touches the ground right at the edges of the waterway and the maximum height of the opening is 60ft, what is the maximum height that a 20-foot wide boat could be and still pass through the opening?

A discussion (one paragraph or so) on what the problem is asking. Someone who has never seen the original problem should be able to tell what the problem was and exactly
what is being asked after reading this paragraph.

 A short discussion on your plan for solving the problem. This should include de nitions of each of the variables as well as an explanation of the equation you are building and using to solve the problem.

 A step by step solution of the problem. This should be clear and easy for a reader to follow (even if the reader may not be well-versed in mathematics). This means you should justify your steps in solving the problem.


A clear statement of the solution to the problem and answers to any questions.  Any implications of the solution.
