A parabolic arch has a height of 25 feet and a span of 40 feet. How high is the arch 8 feet from each side of the center?
Llana [10]

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.

I need help with #47 to #50 ASAP…. Please help me with it
Ksenya-84 [330]

Step-by-step explanation:

a triangular number n is the sum of all natural numbers <= n.

t1 = 1

t2 = 1+2 = 3

t3 = 1+2+3 = 6

t4 = 1+2+3+4 = 10

...

so,

tn = tn-1 + n

47.

1×8 + 1 = 9 is a square number.

3×8 + 1 = 25 is a square number

6×8 + 1 = 49 is a square number

10×8 + 1 = 81 is a square number

48.

1/3 = 0 remainder 1

3/3 = 1 remainder 0

6/3 = 2 remainder 0

10/3 = 3 remainder 1

15/3 = 5 remainder 0

21/3 = 7 remainder 0

28/3 = 9 remainder 1

so, there seems to be a pattern 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 ...

49.

1/4 = 0 remainder 1

4/4 = 1 remainder 0

9/4 = 2 remainder 1

16/4 = 4 remainder 0

25/4 = 6 remainder 1

36/4 = 9 remainder 0

49/4 = 12 remainder 1

so, there seems to be a pattern 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 ...

50.

polygonal numbers is the real name for this.

the formula for dimensions = 5 is

(3n² − n)/2

for dimensions = 6 it is

2n² - n

so, dimensions=5 (and therefore dividing also by 5) we get the remainders

1/5 = 0 remainder 1

5/5 = 1 remainder 0

12/5 = 2 remainder 2

22/5 = 4 remainder 2

35/5 = 7 remainder 0

51/5 = 10 remainder 1

70/5 = 14 remainder 0

92/5 = 18 remainder 2

117/5 = 23 remainder 2

145/5 = 29 remainder 0

here the pattern is 1 0 2 2 0 1 0 2 2 0 1 0 2 2 0 ...

dimensions=6 (and therefore dividing also by 6) we get the remainders

1/6 = 0 remainder 1

6/6 = 1 remainder 0

15/6 = 2 remainder 3

28/6 = 4 remainder 4

45/6 = 7 remainder 3

66/6 = 11 remainder 0

91/6 = 15 remainder 1

120/6 = 20 remainder 0

153/6 = 25 remainder 3

190/6 = 31 remainder 4

231/6 = 38 remainder 3

276/6 = 46 remainder 0

325/6 = 54 remainder 1

here the pattern is 1 0 3 4 3 0 1 0 3 4 3 0 1 0 3 4 3 0 ...

Distribute $1000 into three parts so that one part will be three times as large as the second and the third part will be as larg
Over [174]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

x = part 1

3x = part 2

x + 3x  = part 3       summed, they equal 1000

x    +     3x      +   x + 3x = 1000

8x = 1000

<u>x = 125       3x = 385      third part = 500 </u>
