Question: A - 4 . 2 5 % grade intersects a + 3 . 0 0 % grade at station 4 3 + 0 0 where

A -4.25% grade intersects a +3.00% grade at station 43+00 where the elevation is 497.53 ft . An equal-tangent vertical parabolic curve 900 ft . long has been selected to join the two tangents.
5 pts a) Determine the stations and elevations of the BVC (or PVC) and the EVC (or PVT). Express the elevation to the nearest hundredth (2 decimals).
5 pts b) Compute the elevation at station 42+00. Express your answer to the nearest hundredths (2 decimals).
5pts c) Determine the station and elevation of the lowest point on the curve. Express the elevation to the nearest hundredths (2 decimals).
