A fountain on a lake sprays water in a parabolic arch modeled by the equation y = -0.3x2 + 3x. A beam of light modeled by the eq

uation -2x + 5.5y = 19.5 passes through the fountain to create a rainbow effect. If the beam cuts the water spray at points A and B, such that point B is at a higher level than point A, what distance from the ground level is point A?

See the attached figure.

Water model ⇒⇒⇒ y = -0.3 x² + 3x        ( blue graph )
Light model   ⇒⇒⇒ -2x + 5.5 y = 19.5    ( red graph )
The intersection between the two models A and B
A = ( 1.657 , 4.148 )
B = ( 7.13 , 6.138 )

<span>B is at a higher level than point A
</span>
<span>The distance from the ground level to point A = y-coordinate of point A
                                                                        = 4.148
</span>

For the first interval (-1, 2), f(-1) = f(2), which means that the average rate of change on that interval is zero, so the correct option is A.

<h3>Over which interval the rate of change is zero?</h3>

For a function f(x) we define the average rate of change over the interval (a, b) is defined as:

R = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a)

Here the function is:

f(x) = x^2 - x  -1

And the rate of change will be zero on an interval (a, b) if and only if:

f(b) = f(a).

Notice that the first interval is (-1, 2)

f(-1) = (-1)^2 - (-1) - 1 = 1 + 1 - 1 = 1

f(2) = 2^2 - 2 - 1 = 4 - 2 - 1  =1

Then f(-1) = f(2), which means that the average rate of change on that interval is zero, so the correct option is A.

X/3 -6 =y<br><br> Solve for x
Paul [167]

Answer:

x= 3(y+6) or x = 3y + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

get the "x" by itself.

so first +6 on both sides of the equation to make it x/3=y+6

then multiply both sides by 3 to make it x=(y+6)*3
