The arc of a bridge 2011-12-05
From Marioneta:
Two same columns placed symmetrically, 40 m apart. The height of columns is 8 m. If the origin of the coordinate system is placed at the foot of the left column the equation of the arc of the bridge: f (x) =-1/80x^2+1/2x+8

What is the maximum height of a boat sailing under the bridge and identify its path.
