Question

anonymous · Answer

the height of the arch or the height of the ballons?  you give no measurement for the ballons, so only the arch itself can be determined

anonymous · Answer

y = -1/4(x^2)+3

the height of the arch is 3; but there is nothing to base any other measurement off of

anonymous · Answer

or rather;  (-1/4)x^2 + 3 ?  which is the problem?
