3.2 Graph Quad in Vertex/Intercept Form
Towers Two generator towers are designed with an electric cable that connects them. The ends of the cable are the same height above the ground. The cable can be modeled by
where x is the horizontal distance (in feet) from the left tower and y is the corresponding height (in feet) of the cable. Find the distance between the towers.SolutionThe vertex of the parabola is (_____, ___). The cable’s lowest point is _____ feet from either tower. The distance between the towers is d = ___(______) = ______ feet.
