The main cable of a suspension bridge is modeled by the equation y=0.0048(x - 50)2 + 6. At what
horizontal distances from the left support is the
cable 10 ft above the roadway?
y = height in feet of cable above the roadway
Choose the equation one must solve to answer the
question
O 0 = 0.0048(x - 50)2 + 6
10 =0.0048(x - 50)2 + 6
O y=0.0048(10 - 50)2 +6
DONE
x = horizontal distance in feet from left support
