Answer:
Only truck 1 can pass under the bridge.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, first of all, we must do a drawing of what the situation looks like (see attached picture).
Next, we can take the general equation of an ellipse that is centered at the origin, which is the following:
where:
a= wider side of the ellipse
b= shorter side of the ellipse
in this case:
and
b=12ft
so we can go ahead and plug this data into the ellipse formula:
and we can simplify the equation, so we get:
So, we need to know if either truk will pass under the bridge, so we will match the center of the bridge with the center of each truck and see if the height of the bridge is enough for either to pass.
in order to do this let's solve the equation for y:
we can add everything inside parenthesis so we get:
and take the square root on both sides, so we get:
and we can simplify this so we get:
and now we can evaluate this equation for x=4 (half the width of the trucks) so:
y=11.73ft
this means that for the trucks to pass under the bridge they must have a maximum height of 11.73ft, therefore only truck 1 is able to pass under the bridge since truck 2 is too high.

Explanation:
sum -- the result of addition: 5x+1
term -- a constant, variable, or product of a constant and one or more variables. In the more general sense, a term is any part of the expression that can be considered by itself. An example is 5x
product -- the result of multiplication: 9(5x+1), where 9 is multiplied by the sum (5x+1)
factor -- part of a product: x
quotient -- the result of division: 9(5x+1)÷3
coefficient -- a constant, or the constant that multiplies the variables in a term: 5

<em>Additional comment</em>
The way this is written, there will be the tendency to think of 3y as a term in the same sense that 5x is a term. That would be incorrect. The Order of Operations has you interpret this expression as ...
