Let AB = t. And since X lies in the middle, so AX=BX = t/2 .
Let the height of the smaller flagpole is AO and of larger flagpole is BP .
Using tangent ratio rule in each triangle, we will get

And there ratio is

The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is given by

where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Given that the vertex of the parabola is (-12, -2), the equation of the parabola is given by

For a = 1,

<span>The
parabola whose minimum is at (−12,−2) is given by the equation

, where a = 24 and b = 112.</span>
x = 2
solve 4x + 6 = 2x + 10
subtract 2x from both sides
2x + 6 = 10
subtract 6 from both sides
2x = 10 - 6 = 4
divide both sides by 2
x =
= 2
as a check f(2) =(4 × 2 )+ 6 = 14 and g(2) =( 2× 2) + 10 = 14
