Answer:

D. a is equal to  \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that segment PQ is 8 units, so that its midpoint M is at 4 units to both P and Q.

Given that X is the midpoint of PM, this implies that X is at 2 units to both P and M.

Then;

PX = aPQ

⇒   = a x 8

      = 8a

Therefore, a must be equal to \frac{1}{4}, so that;

PX = 8a

     = 8 x  \frac{1}{4}

     = 2 units

Thus, a is equal to  \frac{1}{4} is the correct option.

A tunnel is in the shape of a parabola. The maximum height is 31 m and it is 13 m wide at the base as shown below.
yan [13]
Using the given values from the problem and the illustration, three points are known which are (0,0), (6.5,-31), (-6.5,-31). The first step in solving this problem is to determine the equation of the parabola.
y = ax²
-31 = a(6.5)²
-31 = 42.25a 
a = -31/42.25 
a = -124/169 

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y = (-124/169)x². The value 4.5 is then substituted in the equation as x to get the answer which is 16.14 meters.
