The arch of a bridge can be modeled by

d="TexFormula1" title="y=-\frac{1}{170}(x-225)(x+225)" alt="y=-\frac{1}{170}(x-225)(x+225)" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">, where x and y are measured in feet. The x-axis represents the ground. Find the width of the arch of the bridge at ground level.

Answer:

450 feet at ground level

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the bridge at ground level will be where the function intercepts the x-axis also known as the roots or zeros of the function. They are found using the zero product property to set each factor equal to 0.

This means (x-225) = 0 and (x + 225) = 0. So x = -225, 225.

This means the width is the absolute value of |-225| + 225 since distance cannot be negative. This makes it 450 feet.

The only thing you need to do is divide 56 by -7. You know the d must be a negative number because negative x negative= positive. So 56 / -7 is -8.

What’s the right answer?
Nataly [62]
I will give you the formula and teach you how to solve this. Let’s start with finding the area of both the right triangles.
The formula is, base x height / 2 = area
Triangle 1 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Triangle 2 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Rectangle - 8x3 = 24
Add them up: 24 + 8 + 8 = 40 square feet
I hope this wasn’t to confusing

What is the image point of (1,-1)(1,−1) after a translation left 4 units and down 5 units?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The new point would be (-3,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this it is nice to graph the first point at (1,-1). Then move the point left 4 units, making x -3. and then 5 units down, which would make y -6.
