    The document provides instructions for a mathematical problem set involving precalculus concepts. Students are asked to solve two tasks: 1) finding the equations of circles given properties of their centers and radii, and 2) solving problems involving parabolas related to the design of a suspension bridge. The tasks are to be completed individually as a quarterly assessment, with the deadline of October 19, 2020. Solutions should be presented in a PowerPoint file and submitted through the school's online system. A rubric is provided to evaluate students' work.

    MATHEMATICAL QUEST
    Main Task in Precalculus

    General Directions: Read the instructions carefully. Be guided with the questions as you do your tasks. Show your complete
    solutions. Illustrate the problem whenever necessary. Remember, this is part of your Quarterly Assessment. Take this seriously. If at
    first, you cannot get the answer, do not give up. Take some time to rest. Eat pizza. Drink some coffee. Sleep. Read books. Consult any
    reference book, your notes, or the internet. If you need help from your classmate or other people, ask about the process. Do not just copy
    the answer. You will not learn by just copying. Lastly, avoid procrastination. The deadline is on October 19, 2020. Your output
    should be presented using PPT and saved as pdf with filename: MainTaskA_LastName. Submission will be done thru Schoology.

    Task 1: Equation of a Circle


    a. What is the equation of the circle in center-radius form whose center is at (8, 1) and the circle contains the
    intersection of the lines 𝑥 + 𝑦 = −1 and 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 9?
    b. What is the equation of the circle in general form whose center is at (−4, 3) and the circle is tangent to the
    4
    line 𝑦 = − 𝑥 + 6?
    3

    Guide Questions: (These questions are hints to what you need to answer the problems.)
    1. What is/are the concept/s in Math that was/were mentioned in the question?
    2. What do/es this/these concept/s tell us?
    3. What is your solution?
    4. What is your final answer?

    Task 2: Solving Problems involving Parabolas


    Scenario: The lowest point of the cable of a suspension bridge with 100-ft tall towers is 20 ft above the road
    surface. The bridge spans for about 600 feet. The architect wants that hangers be suspended at equal horizontal
    distances from the lowest point of the cable.
    Questions:
    1. If the second hanger from the lowest point of the cable is 15-ft long, what is the horizontal distance of
    the second hanger to the lowest point of the cable?
    2. If the same horizontal distance is used, how many hangers can be placed to support the bridge?
    3. Another tower will be constructed passing through the lowest point of the cable to evenly distribute the
    weight of the bridge. Each hanger will be tied to a certain point on the middlemost tower. How far from
    the road should this point be so that the pressure exerted on the hangers is evenly distributed?
