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.

If line VX is the bisector of angle V, find the perimeter of triangle VUW .
umka21 [38]
Since VX is the bisector of angle V and < VXU is a right angle then  UX is congruent to XW and triangle VUW is isosceles with VU = VW.

3z - 4 = x + 6
2z = 10
z = 5

so UW = 3(5) - 4 + 5 + 6  = 22
and VW = 5(5) - 1 = 24

VU = VW = 24 

perimeter = 2(24) + 22 =  70

Express x in terms of y! Find the value of x when y =5<br>2(x - 3)/y =5​
m_a_m_a [10]

Hey there!

2(x - 3) / y = 5

2(x - 3) / 5 = 5

2(x) + 2(-3) / 5 = 5

(2x - 6) 5 = 5

MULTPLY 5 to BOTH SIDES

(2x - 6)/5 * 5 = 5 * 5

SIMPLIFY IT!
2x - 6 = 5 * 5

2x - 6 = 25

ADD 6 to BOTH SIDES

2x - 6 + 6 = 25 + 6

SIMPLIFY IT!
2x = 25 + 6

2x = 31

DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES

2x/2 = 31/2

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 31/2

x = 15 1/2


Therefore, the answer should be:

x = 15 1/2


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
