The main cable of a suspension bridge forms a parabola modeled by the equation y = a(x – h)2 + k where y is the height in feet of the cable above the road, x is the horizontal distance in feet from the right bridge support, a is a constant, and (h, k) is the parabola’s vertex. What is the maximum and minimum height of the bridge modeled by the equation y = 0.005(x – 60)2 + 8?

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !
