Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Grade is slope = rise / run
a) horizontal distance 1400 ft (run) vertical distance = 40 ft (rise)
40 / 1400 = 2.85%
b) rise / run = 805.58 / 13780 = 5.84%
Y = a (x + 3)² - 1
Let's take the point (-1;3)
3 = a ( -1 + 3)² - 1
3 = 4a - 1
4a = 4
Therefore a = 4/4 = 1
(x+3)² - 1
= x² + 6x + 9 - 1
= x² + 6x + 8
The answer would be y = x² + 6x + 8.
Hope this helps !

I dont have paper with me but just solve 2(-2)^3+2 for the first one. The second one is -28 though
