Question

A skateboard halfpipe is being designed for a competition. The halfpipe will be in the shape of a parabola and will be positioned above the ground such that its focus is 40 ft above the ground. Using the ground as the x-axis, where should the base of the halfpipe be positioned? Which equation best describes the equation of the halfpipe? (0, 20); y equals one over eighty times x squared plus 20 (0, 10); y equals one over one hundred twenty times x squared plus 10 (0, 20); y equals one over eighty times x squared minus 20 (0, 10); y equals one over one hundred twenty times x squared minus 10

Answer 1

Answer:

The EQUATION : y = $\frac{x^{2} }{80} + 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached below is the solution to determine the required equation tha best describes the equation of the half pipe

hence the base of the pipeline should be positioned as

will be as represented in the equation : $\frac{x^{2} }{80} + 20$
