Problem 62

Road Design Roads are often designed with parabolic surfaces to allow rain to drain off. A particular road that is 32 feet wide is 0.4 foot higher in the center than it is on the sides (see figure). (figure cannot copy) A. Find an equation of the parabola with its vertex at the origin that models the road surface. B. How far from the center of the road is the road surface 0.1 foot lower than in the middle?

Problem 69

Conjecture Consider the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1, \quad a+b=20\) (a) The area of the ellipse is given by \(A=\pi a b .\) Write the area of the ellipse as a function of \(a .\) (b) Find the equation of an ellipse with an area of 264 square centimeters. (c) Complete the table using your equation from part (a). Then make a conjecture about the shape of the ellipse with maximum area. $$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline a & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 \\ \hline A & & & & & & \\ \hline \end{array}$$ (d) Use a graphing utility to graph the area function and use the graph to support your conjecture in part (c).

Problem 77
