Answer:
they all got paid 474$ all together
Step-by-step explanation:
destiny worked 12 hours and made 240.17$
Stephanie worked 12 hours and made 126.17$
Marco worked 12 hours and made 108.17$
this all adds up to 474.50$ which is exactly half of 949$
Vertex at the origin and opening down → y=ax^2
Width: w=16
x=w/2→x=16/2→x=8
x=8, y=-16→y=ax^2→-16=a(8)^2→-16=a(64)→-16/64=a(64)/64→-1/4=a→a=-1/4
y=ax^2→y=-(1/4)x^2
7 m from the edge of the tunnel → x=w/2-7=8 m-7 m→x=1 m
x=1→y=-(1/4)x^2=-(1/4)(1)^2=-(1/4)(1)→y=-1/4
Vertical clearance: 16-1/4=16-0.25→Vertical clearance=15.75 m
Please, see the attached file.
Answer: Third option 15.75 m
When solving this equation you get x = -3.
To solve this, simply follow the order of operations for solving.
----> start by dividing both sides by 5
-----> Now you can transform the front side of the equation to use negative exponents.

Since both x and -3 are the powers of x, we can eliminate the 7 and just make the exponents equal.
-3 = x
Your answer would be 14 and 2/3
It is expressed as x=a when a equals the x-intercept.
e.g. a straight vertical line through (0,4) has the equation x=4.
