Just use pemdas....
-0.75 is the solution.

distributed the 0.9 to the .5 converted fraction to decimal and the 2, keep the parenthesis and subtract the 0.45 with the positive 1.8 which equals -1.35. Then add-1.35 to 0.6 and then you get -0.75 is the solution.

Should be, -0.7, if you follow PEMDAS

I would actually say that the best thing for Mark to do is to "Lease the car with a 0 percent down payment.". Sense he does not ave enough money to pay this car off, he would then have a better option to lease this car. By him doing this, it would help him to get to his destination faster and get things done for him.

A bridge is built in the shape of a parabolic arch. The bridge arch has a span of 166 feet and a maximum height of 40 feet. Find

scoray [572]

Answer:

38.27775 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The bridge has been shown in the figure.

Let the highest point of the parabolic bridge (i.e. vertex of the parabola) be at the origin, $O(0,0)$ in the cartesian coordinate system.

As the bridge have the shape of an inverted parabola, so the standard equation, which describes the shape of the bridge is

$x^2=4ay\;\cdots(i)$

where $a$ is an arbitrary constant (distance between focus and vertex of the parabola).

The span of the bridge = 166 feet and

Maximum height of the bridge= 40 feet.

The coordinate where the bridge meets the base is $A(83, -40)$ and $B(-83, -40).$

There is only one constant in the equation of the parabola, so, use either of one point to find the value of $a$ .

Putting $A(83,-40)$ in the equation (i) we have

$83^2=4a(-40)$

$\Rightarrow a=-43.05625$

So, on putting the value of $a$ in the equation (i), the equation of bridge is

$x^2=-172.225y$

From the figure, the distance from the center is measured along the x-axis, x coordinate at the distance of 10 feet is, $x=\pm 10$ feet, put this value in equation (i) to get the value of y.
