    1) The document discusses parabolic mirrors and arches, providing examples of quadratic functions that model their shapes in vertex form. 2) It gives the equation h(d) = -0.02d^2 + 192 to model the Gateway Arch, asking students to graph it and find the height, width, and height at 15m from the end. 3) A third example gives the width and maximum height of a parabolic archway, asking students to write the vertex form equation and find the height at 50cm from the edge.

    Applications and Writing Equations in 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑝) + 𝑞

    Ex. 1 Parabolic mirrors are often used in lights because they give a focused beam. Suppose a parabolic mirror is
    6 cm wide and 1 cm deep, as shown.

    a. Suppose the vertex of the mirror is at the origin. Determine the quadratic function in vertex form that
    describes the shape of the mirror.

    Ex. 2 The stainless steel Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, has a shape that approximates a parabola. If the
    curve is graphed on a grid with the origin on the ground directly below the top of the arch, the curve can be

    modeled by the function, ℎ(𝑑) =− 0. 02𝑑 + 192, where ℎ(𝑑) is the height of the arch in meters, and 𝑑 is the
    horizontal distance from the center of the arch in meters.

    a. Graph on your calculator using appropriate window settings.
