![2. An unsymmetrical parabolic curve has a forward
tangent of +8% and a back tangent of -5%. The length of
the curve on the left side is 60m, what is the elevation of
the highest point on the curve if the vertex is at station
10+200 of elevation 100m? (Disregard this and solve the
amended problem on No.3)
3. An unsymmetrical parabolic curve has a forward
tangent grade of +8% and a back tangent grade of -5%.
The length of the curve on the left side of the tangents
intersection is 100 meters long while on its right side is
150 meters long. The tangents intersection is located at
station 10 + 200 having an elevation of 100 m. Determine
(a) location and elevation of the lowest point on the curve
and (b) the elevation of station 10+300.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fca515520-d670-4ba0-97da-3d60b46e054d%2F93700e7b-6229-46b1-8bff-cee2a0711cfb%2Fo8as1co_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
