The graph of a quadratic relationship is in the shape of a parabola. Parabolas are symmetric arcs and are useful for modeling re

lationships such as the height of a projectile over time or the curve of the cables on a suspension bridge.
Think about where you have seen a parabolic arc in real life. What unique features did it have, and where did you see symmetry in the relationship?

Answer:

  • The arcs on the Golden Gate Bridge.

Explanation:

I think about the Golden Gate Bridge, which is a suspension bridge.

As in any suspension bridge, a long cable is supported by two large supports.

The cable falls from a support, in the form of a curve concave upwards, to a minimum point that is the vertex of the<em> parabola</em>, through which the axis of <em>symmetry</em> passes, and curves again upwards to ascend to the upper end of the other support.

As a <em>unique feature</em> of this parabolic arc you can tell that the the concavity is upward; the parabola open upward.

Also, you can tell that the parabola is vertical, which means that the axis of symmetry is vertical.

The <em>symmetry</em> is clear because to the curve to the left of the vertex is a mirror image of the curve to the right of the vertex.

Clark borrow $16,000 to buy a car. He pays simple interest at an annual rate of 6% over a period of 3.5 years. How much does he
Paha777 [63]
The equation for annual interest is A = P(1 + r)^t. We can plug in the known information and get A = 16,000(1 + (0.06))^3.5. Next, we can simplify this equation to A = 16,000(1.06)^3.5. Finally, we raise 1.06 to the power of 3.5 and multiply that by 16,000 and get an answer of $19,619.62.

Hope this helps!
