Answer:
- The arcs on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Explanation:
I think about the Golden Gate Bridge, which is a suspension bridge.
As in any suspension bridge, a long cable is supported by two large supports.
The cable falls from a support, in the form of a curve concave upwards, to a minimum point that is the vertex of the<em> parabola</em>, through which the axis of <em>symmetry</em> passes, and curves again upwards to ascend to the upper end of the other support.
As a <em>unique feature</em> of this parabolic arc you can tell that the the concavity is upward; the parabola open upward.
Also, you can tell that the parabola is vertical, which means that the axis of symmetry is vertical.
The <em>symmetry</em> is clear because to the curve to the left of the vertex is a mirror image of the curve to the right of the vertex.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:y=426x+4298
y=223x+6129
Part 2: x=9.020 (x is the number of months and y is the miles)
Part 3: y=8140.394, or 8,140 since it's rounding to the nearest mile
Add 10 then subtract 5 gives: 11, 21, 16, 26, 21
add 10 and subtract 5 gives: 11, 16, 21, 26, 31

Answer: f(x) = (-1/2)x+1, choice B</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
The diagonal line passes through 1 on the vertical y axis. So the y intercept is b = 1. This means the location of the y intercept is (0,1).
Start at (0,1) and move down 1 and to the right 2 to arrive at (2,0). This is another point on the diagonal line. The motion of "down 1 and right 2" is effectively the slope
slope = rise/run = -1/2
rise = -1, run = 2
The rise being negative means we have gone downhill as we move to the right.
With m = -1/2 as the slope and b = 1 as the y intercept, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-1/2)x+1
The last thing to do is replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = (-1/2)x+1 as the final answer.
To the nearest foot, it would be 23 feet. I found this using the Pythagorean Theorem of a (squared) + b (squared) = c (squared). If you have 24 as the hypotenuse, you have to square this and subtract 64 (8*8) from it. That will equal 512. So you have to find the square root of that which is 22.62, which will round to 23 feet.
