An arch of a highway overpass is in the shape of a parabola. The arch spans a distance of 12 meters from one side of the road to the other. The height of the arch is 8 meters at a horizontal distance of 2 meters from each side of the arch.

Use this information to determine the function, in both intercept form and standard form, that models the arch.

Abilliard ball is struck by a cue. it travels 1 0 0 cm 100cm before ricocheting off a rail and traveling another 1 2 0 cm 120cm into a corner pocket. the angle between the path as the ball approaches the rail and the path after it strikes the rail is 4 5 ∘ 45 ∘ . how far is the corner pocket from where the cue initially struck the ball? do not round during your calculations. round your final answer to the nearest centimeter.
