along the ground. Standing in between the arches, the left side of the arch is 5 ft. away from you
and the right arch is 10 ft. away from you. This parabolic shape has an a value of-1
a. Find the equation of this parabola, where y is the height in ft. above the ground and x is ft. in
either direction from you.
b. How far away are you standing from being right in the middle of the structure?
c. Find the height of the tallest part of this structure.
