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.

In this question, you know that the machine packs \frac{2}{3} of a box every \frac{1}{2} of a minute. Since it is constant, you simply have to double the half a minute to a full minute and then also double the rate to get \frac{4}{3} boxes packed per minute. And \frac{4}{3} is equal to 1\frac{1}{3}

Factor the trinomial<br><br> x^2-9x+4x
8090 [49]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

x2 + -9x = 4x + -4

Reorder the terms:

-9x + x2 = 4x + -4

Reorder the terms:

-9x + x2 = -4 + 4x

Solving

-9x + x2 = -4 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:

4 + -9x + -4x + x2 = -4 + 4x + 4 + -4x

Combine like terms: -9x + -4x = -13x

4 + -13x + x2 = -4 + 4x + 4 + -4x

Reorder the terms:

4 + -13x + x2 = -4 + 4 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

4 + -13x + x2 = 0 + 4x + -4x

4 + -13x + x2 = 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

4 + -13x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -13x + -4 + x2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:

4 + -4 + -13x + x2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + -13x + x2 = 0 + -4

-13x + x2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4

-13x + x2 = -4

The x term is -13x.  Take half its coefficient (-6.5).

Square it (42.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '42.25' to each side of the equation.

-13x + 42.25 + x2 = -4 + 42.25

Reorder the terms:

42.25 + -13x + x2 = -4 + 42.25

Combine like terms: -4 + 42.25 = 38.25

42.25 + -13x + x2 = 38.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:

(x + -6.5)(x + -6.5) = 38.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.184658438

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting  

(x + -6.5) equal to 6.184658438 and -6.184658438.
