Given that the number of bridges has been modeled by the function:
<span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
To find the year in which, y=505000 we shall proceed as follows:
From:
</span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
substituting y=505000 we shall have:
505000=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
simplifying the above we get:
0=149(x+1.5)^2-15495
expanding the above we get:
0=149x^2+447x+335.25-15495
simplifying
0=149x^2+447x-15159.8
solving the quadratic equation by quadratic formula we get:
x~8.69771 or x~-11.6977
hence we take positve number:
x~8.69771~8.7 years~9 years
thus the year in which the number will be 505000 will be:
2000+9=2009

Somebody, please help

F(x) can be written as:
f(x) = Asin(2x); where A is the amplitude and the period of the function is half that of a normal sin function.
f(π/4) = 4
4 = Asin(2(π/4))
4 = Asin(π/2)
A = 4
Amplitude of g(x) = 1/2 * amplitude of f(x)
A for g(x) = 2
g(x) = 2sin(x)

Show answer in lowest terms. 25/75+ 25/125=
Anit [1.1K]
Hi Jujub! To find the answer in lowest terms, first you have to find the lowest common denominator. To find this, find the lowest common multiple of 75 and 125, which is 375. Now, to make the common denominator, you have to make equivalent fractions. 375 ÷ 75 = 5, and 5 × 25 = 125. So the new fraction is 125/375.  Now the same thing for 25/125.  375 ÷ 125 = 3, and 3 × 25 is 75. So the new fraction is 75/375.  Now add the new fractions:  
125/375 + 75/375 =  200/375

This answer can be simplified to 8/15.

Kelly flips a coin 10 times. The coin lands on tails 6 times. Which of the following statements are true? (More than one stateme
Marina CMI [18]

Even though you dont have the statements, she flipped the coin and 60% of the time the result of the coin flip was tails, 40% of the flips were heads.

Even though she got tails 20% more than heads, she still has a 50-50% probability of getting heads or tails.

Heads to tails rate was 4:6
