Answer: f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lenght of the road over the arch is 100m, we can consider a coordinate plane and say that the road starts at point (0,0) and finishes at (100,0). The vertice of the parabola is at point (50,40), because the maximum height is 40 and it is always in the middle point of the roots.

So, we have

(0,0) (50,40) (100,0)

A quadratic function is always on the form: f(x) = ax² + bx + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c

40 = a50² + b50 + c

0 = a100² + b100 + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c → c = 0 ∴

40 = a50² + b50

0 = a100² + b100

_________________________

2500a + 50b = 40 (*2)

10000a + 100b = 0

_________________________

5000a + 100b = 80

10000a + 100b = 0 (-)

__________________________

-5000a = 80

-a=80/5000

a=-0.016

∴

2500a + 50b = 40

2500.(-0.016) + 50b = 40

-40 + 50b = 40

50b = 80

b = 80/50

b = 1.6

This way f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x
