A. Equation of line l: y = mx + 20 where m = y' = 1- (1/250)x 

At the point Q, The equation of the line equals the equation of the parabola. 

So (1-x/250)x + 20 = x - x^2/500 

20 = x^2/250 - x^2/500 = x^2/500 
x = sqrt(20*500) = 100ft 

B. m = 1 - 100/250 = 3/5. 

<span>Equation of line L is y = 3/5x + 20 
</span>
C)  If a spotlight is located at the x intercept of line L (-33 1/3,0), its light will go only above line L past the point where line L is tangent to the hill at (100,80) because the hill blocks the light below the tangent line. 

<span>The highest point on the equation of y = x - x²/500 is at (250,125), so a tree 50 feet tall at that location would reach up to (250,175). The tangent line goes through (250,170), so the top 5 feet of the tree would be above the tangent line, in the glow of the spotlight.

Mean, because the outliers are limited.

There will be nights when you get more sleep or less sleep than usual, but overall, they will not be far away from the rest of the data you're comparing.
