We are given height function of the bridge

h(x) =-0.5(x-4)^2 +2.

Where height is the height of the bridge in feet and x is the distance between two bases.

We have height =0 on the base of the bridge. In order to find the both bases, we need to plug h(x) as 0 and solve for x.

-0.5(x-4)^2 +2 = 0

\mathrm{Subtract\:}2\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}

-0.5\left(x-4\right)^2+2-2=0-2

-0.5\left(x-4\right)^2=-2

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}10

-0.5\left(x-4\right)^2\cdot \:10=-2\cdot \:10

-5\left(x-4\right)^2=-20

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-5

\frac{-5\left(x-4\right)^2}{-5}=\frac{-20}{-5}

\left(x-4\right)^2=4

Taking square root on both sides, we get

x-4=\sqrt{4}

\:x-4=\sqrt{4} \ and \ x-4=-\sqrt{4}

x-4=2 \\x-4=-2

x=6,\:x=2

We got horizontal distances 2 feet and 6 feet.

Therefore, correct option is D.

Meaghan and Lily are dividing 43.61 by 7. Meaghan says that the first digit of the quotient is in the ones place. Lily says it i
Ivahew [28]

Answer: Meaghan is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a number like:

123.45

the tens place would be the "2" (second number at the left of the decimal point)

The ones place would be the "3" (first number at the left of the decimal point)

Let's suppose that Lily is correct.

Then the quotient of:

43.61/7

Will be a number with two digits in the left of the decimal point.

The smallest number that meets this condition, is the number 10.

Then let's see:

7*10 = 70

then:

70/7 = 10

and:

43.61 < 70

(70 is larger than 43.61)

then:

43.61/7 < 70/7 = 10

Then:

(43.61/7) < 10

This means that our quotient is smaller than 10, then the first digit of the quotient can not be on the tens place.

Then Meaghan is the correct one.

We also could perform the quotient to find:

43.61/7 = 6.23

So yes, Meaghan is correct.

A rectangle is divided into equal squares. One row covers 1/8 of the whole rectangle. There are 3 squares in each row. How many
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

There are 24 squares in the entire rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Trom the problem, we are given that one row covers 1/8 of the entire rectangle.

We are also told that this one row, contains three squares.

In other words, what this means is that three squares cover 1/8 of the entire rectangle.

The question is now if three squares cover only 1/8 of the rectangle, how many squares cover the whole rectangle.

In fraction, we can represent a whole using 1/1

We can set up a simple relation to this effect.

3 squares give 1/8 of the rectangle

x squares give 1/1 of the rectangle

cross multiplying, we have

x = 3 ÷(1/8) = 24

Therefore, there are 24 squares in the entire rectangle
