The Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington has two towers that each rise 307 feet above the roadway and are connected by suspension cables as shown. Each cable can be modeled by the function.
y = (x – 1400)2 + 27 1 7000
where x and y are measured in feet. What is the distance d between the two towers ?
SOLUTIONSOLUTION
The vertex of the parabola is (1400, 27). So, a cable’s lowest point is 1400 feet from the left tower shown above. Because the heights of the two towers are the same, the symmetry of the parabola implies that the vertex is also 1400 feet from the right tower. So, the distance between the two towers is d = 2 (1400) = 2800 feet.

The path of a placekicked football can be modeled by the function y = – 0.026x(x – 46) where x is the horizontal distance (in yards) and y is the corresponding height (in yards).
a. How far is the football kicked ?
b. What is the football’s maximum height ?
SOLUTIONSOLUTIONa. Rewrite the function as y = – 0.026(x – 0)(x –
46). Because p = 0 and q = 46, you know the x - intercepts are 0 and 46. So, you can conclude that the football is kicked a distance of 46 yards.
b. To find the football’s maximum height, calculate the coordinates of the vertex.
WHAT IF? In Example 4, what is the maximum height of the football if the football’s path can be modeled by the function y = – 0.025x(x – 50)?SOLUTIONa. Rewrite the function as y = – 0.025(x –
0) (x – 50). Because p = 0 and q = 50, you know the x - intercepts are 0 and 50. So, you can conclude that the football is kicked a distance of 50 yards.
b. To find the football’s maximum height, calculate the coordinates of the vertex.
