The parabolic arch of a bridge over a one-way road can be described by the equation y = -x^2 + 6, where x and y ar emeasured in

metres. A transpor truck is 3m wide and 3.5m high. What is the maximum clearance of the truck's top corners if it passes under the bridge?

So check the picture below

if we check the solutions or zeros for the equation, we get \bf y=-x^2+6\implies 0=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{6}

and as you can see in the picture, the value of "x" when y = 3.5, or the height of the truck is  \bf y=-x^2+6\implies 3.5=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{2.5}

the truck, ends up with a clearance of \bf \sqrt{2.5}-1.5 on either side, so, the maximum clearance, the truck can have, those two clearances added together, \bf 2(\sqrt{2.5}-1.5)

gina pasted 3 stickers in a book. if she added one sticker to her collection every day, what equation represents the relationshi
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

                       Number of stickers = number of days + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

- To find the equation of the line that represents the situation, first, find the slope.

Slope = m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

             m = \frac{4 - 3}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1

- Find the equation of the line

                      y - y1 = m(x - x1)

                      y - 4 = 1(x - 1)

                      y - 4 = x - 1

                           y = x - 1 + 4

                           y = x + 3

y = number of stickers

x = days

                     Number of stickers = number of days + 3

Antony purchases his Play Station 5 for $1,099 from Best Buy near the Parks Mall. The sales tax is 8.25%. How much does he pay f
hram777 [196]

Answer: $90.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales taxes are paid per good purchased to the IRS and are more often than not, collected at the point of sale by the seller.

The sales tax paid on the PlayStation can be calculated by the formula:

= Price of purchase * Sales tax percentage

= 1,099 * 8.25%

= $90.67
