uiz 5. Name: Four questions, five points each, twenty points total. Please show your work! #1. A parabolic arch is twenty feet wide at the base and fifteen feet tall at the center. Draw the arch, choose a suitable location for x-y axes, and write an equation for the arch with respect to those axes. How tall is the arch at points five feet from its center? #2. Farmer Amidala of Naboo is getting ready to harvest his banoos. If he harvests now, his extraterrestrial fields will yield 100 bushels per acre; every week that he waits, he expects the yield to increase by 2 bushels per acre.
