Answer:

The correct option is;

21 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabolic arc is as follows;

y = a(x - h)² + k

Where the height is 25 ft and the span is 40 ft, the coordinates of the vertex (h, k) is then (20, 25)

We therefore have;

y = a(x - 20)² + 25

Whereby the parabola starts from the origin (0, 0), we have;

0 = a(0 - 20)² + 25

0 = 20²a + 25 → 0 = 400·a + 25

∴a = -25/400 = -1/16

The equation of the parabola is therefore;

y = (-\frac{1}{16})(x-20)^2 + 25

To find the height 8 ft from the center, where the center is at x = 20 we have 8 ft from center = x = 20 - 8 = 12 or x = 20 + 8 = 28

Therefore, plugging the value of x = 12 or 28 in the equation for the parabola gives;

y = (-\frac{1}{16})(12-20)^2 + 25 = (-\frac{1}{16})(-8)^2 + 25 = 21 \ ft.

Global mean temperature was changing the most rapidly in 2005. How quickly was the temperature changing in 2005
AysviL [449]

The temperature was changing at a rate of 2.925 degrees Celsius in 2005

<h3>How to determine the rate in 2005</h3>

From the graph (see attachment), we have the following ordered pair

(x,y) = (5,14.625)

The above means that, the temperature in 2005 is 14.625 degrees Celsius

So, the rate in 2005 is:

Rate = \frac{14.625}{5}

Rate = 2.925

Hence, the temperature was changing at a rate of 2.925 degrees Celsius in 2005
