<span>First of all, there should be coherence for the units of measurement -- either they are all meters or they are all ft. I would assume they are all ft.
The correct answer is 75 ft above. T
The explanation is the following: suppose the ground level is the x-axis, the 2 feet of the arch lie respectively on (0,0) and (100,0) on the ground level. Since the arch is 100ft high, the vertex of the parabola will be the point (100,100). Thus, we can find the equation describing the parabola by putting the three points we know in a system and we find that the equation of the parabola is y=(-1/100)x^2+2
To find the focus F, we apply the formula for the focus of a vertical axis parabola, i.e. F(-b/2a;(1-b^2+4ac)/4a).
By substituting a=-1/100, b=2 and c=0 into the formula, we find that the coordinates of the focus F are (100,75).
So we conclude that the focus lies 75ft above ground.</span>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we find the slope
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-3,7)....x1 = -3 and y1 = 7
(9,-1)...x2 = 9 and y2 = -1
now we sub
slope(m) = (-1 - 7) / (9 - (-3) = -8 / (9 + 3) = -8 / 12 reduces to - 2/3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2/3
use either of ur points...I will use (-3,7)...x = -3 and y = 7
now we sub and find b, the y intercept
7 = -2/3(-3) + b
7 = 2 + b
7 - 2 = b
5 = b
so ur equation is : y = -2/3x + 5 <===
Answer:
A. false
B. true
C. true
D. false
step-by-step:
A: probability of spinning a 4 on spinner A is 1/4 and probability of spinning a 4 on spinner B is 1/3.
B: there are 2 fours out of 6 possible options so that makes it 2/6, simplify that, it becomes 1/3.
C: 2 and 4 are even numbers so that makes 2/4 possible on spinner A. simplify 2/4 and that becomes 1/2.
D. spinning a 3 on spinner A would make it 1/4 (already simplified). spinning a 3 on spinner B would make it 1/6 (already simplified) therefore spinner A is greater.
