The equation for the elevation of any point on the vertical curve is:

…… (1)

Here, is the elevation at the beginning of the vertical curve (BVC) and is the horizontal
distance measured from the BVC.

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to X as follows:

For the minimum elevation, the differentiation of the elevation equation will be equal to zero.
