Answer:

  about 106 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in x-values when y=0 is found by solving ...

  0 = -0.016(x -52.5)² +45

  -45 = -0.016(x -52.5)² . . . . . . subtract 45

  45/0.016 = (x -52.5)² . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of the squared term

  ±√2812.5 = x -52.5 . . . . . . . . take the square root

  x = 52.5 ±√2812.5 . . . . . . . . .add 52.5. These are the x-values where y=0.

So, the difference in x-values at y=0 is ...

  (52.5 +√( )) - (52.5 -√( )) = 2√2812.5 ≈ 106.07 . . . . meters

The width of the arch at ground level is about 106 meters.

1.A bag has 4 green blocks, 3 red blocks, 2 blue blocks, and 1 yellow block. Find the probability of randomly selecting a block
maks197457 [2]

Answer: 1) 7/10  2) 15  3) 240  4) 1/4  5) 4/9  6) 1/20  7) No, not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4 green+3red+2blue+1yellow = 10 total

if 3/10 are red, then 7/10 are not red. So the second option, 7/10

2. 3 cartons in every 40

40*5 = 200

so do 3*5 = 15

so 15 or the third option

3. 40 out of 110

110*6 = 660

so do 40*6 = 240

so 240 or the fourth option

4.

Flipping heads: 1/2

rolling even: well, there is 2, 4, and 6, or 3 even numbers so 3/6 or 1/2

do 1/2*1/2 = 1/4

so 1/4 or the third option

5. Numbers more than 2: 3, 4, 5, 6 (4 numbers)

4/6 or 2/3 chance the first time, 2/3 chance the second time

do 2/3*2/3 = 4/9

so 4/9 or the second option

6. 5 dishes and 4 desserts

1/5 chance of picking the dish

1/4 chance of picking the dessert

do 1/5*1/4 = 1/20

so 1/20 or the fourth option

7. Since you don’t replace the marble after picking it, it affects the outcome of the second draw. Therefore the events are dependent, or not independent. So the second option.
