The Math Projects Journal 4 — HE CGIN FOU NT. The study of parabolic curves through the design of water arcs | You have been hired to design the water arc of @ cain fountain. The pool of the fountain is 20 feet wide, and the water arc is to be greater than € feet tall, but less than 50 fee You will need to determine the locations of the launch point and landing points and th maximum height of the arc. Also, you will need to write an equation that describes the water arc in terms of its height in relation to the horizontal distance along the pool PART ONE 1 the side view of your fountain in a fist quadrant graph. Have the surface of correspond and include pertinent data points trom the following questoRt the »-axis with the left side at the origin, Show the coordinates of the roots and jut launch and landing |_| points and the height of your water arc. Launch (1, 0) Landing (14, ©) Height _ 32 $+ Yo! Using the equation y = aly = xXx = xq). where wt (i, 0) & (%, 0) are the roots of the parabola, Sole For Fre Vole | ok Then convert your equation to the Find the vertex and the equation for the axis of
