Select a bridge from around the world that contains parabolic features. By importing an image of your chosen bridge into
DESMOS or other graphing program, create a 2D side-view drawing of one face of the bridge using a series of functions
you design. Use Turning Point form to model the largest spanning curve of the bridge chosen. You may not select the
Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
