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>

V-16=-32<br>I need help with the math worksheet how to solve the question
sergeinik [125]

You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.

... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b

... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0

... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V

_____

<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.
