Bridge
This bridge is located over the St. Lawrence River and connects Canada to the United States. The bridge’s cables make perfect parabolas and this is one example of it. The equation of this function is f(x)=(x/5.6)^2. The “5.6” of this equation makes the parabola wider in order to fit the bridge’s wires. I placed the center of the bridge wires on the origin in order to make it easier to graph, that way I didn’t have to figure out the x and y of the vertex.
