7. A vase 25 cm tall is positioned on a bench near a wall as shown. The shape of the vase follows the curve y = (x - 10)^2, wher

e y cm is the height of the vase and x cm is the distance of the vase from the wall.
a. How far is the base of the vase from the wall? b. What is the shortest distance from the top of the vase to the wall?
c. If the vase is moved so that the top just touches the wall, find the new distance from the wall to the base.
d. Find the new equation that follows the shape of the vase.​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the base of the vase will be where the vase touches the x-axis, that is 10 cm, therefore, the base is 10 cm from the wall

:

b) 25 = x^2 -20x +100, we solve for x to find the closest distance since as we move up the vase the distance to the wall gets closer(assume the y-axis is the wall), then

x^2 -20x +75 = 0  (x-15) * (x-5) = 0

x = 15 and x = 5

we reject x = 15

the shortest distance from the top of the vase to the wall is 5 cm

:

c) this is a left shift of the equation y = (x-10)^2

from b) we know that the left shift is 5 cm

10 - 5 = 5 cm from the wall to the base

:

d) y = (x-10+5)^2

y = (x-5)^2

vivado [14]

Answer:

<em>The actual distance between Rose Lake and the hiking trail is 7 miles.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual distance between Rose Lake and the main road is 3.5 miles and the scaled distance on the map is 2 inch.

Suppose, the actual distance between Rose Lake and the hiking trail is  d miles.

Given that, the scaled distance from Rose Lake to the hiking trail on the map is 4 inch.

So, <u>according to the ratio of "scaled distance" to the "actual distance"</u>, the equation will be......

\frac{2}{3.5}= \frac{4}{d} \\ \\ 2d=4*3.5=14\\ \\ d=\frac{14}{2}=7

Thus, the actual distance between Rose Lake and the hiking trail is 7 miles.

An amateur soccer ball is priced at
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: $26

Step-by-step explanation:

   If $19.50 is 3/4, we need to find 4/4.

3/4 -> 0.75

4/4 -> 1

    We will set up a proportion and solve.

\frac{19.5}{0.75} =\frac{x}{1}

19.5 = 0.75x

26 = x

         The professional ball is $26.
