The answer is <span>252.5 ft

</span><span>y = –0.004x</span>²<span> + x + 2.5
Let's take y = 0 and we'll get the quadratic equation:

</span>–0.004x² + x + 2.5 = 0
The general formula for quadratic equation is:
ax² + bx + c = 0

a = -0.004
b = 1
c = 2.5

x_{1,2} = \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} =\frac{-1+/- \sqrt{ 1^{2}-4*(-0.004)*2.5} }{2*(-0.004)} = \frac{-1+/- \sqrt{1+0.04} }{-0.008} = \\ &#10;=\frac{-1+/- \sqrt{1.04} }{-0.008} = \frac{-1+/-1.02}{-0.008}

x_1=\frac{-1+1.02}{-0.008} = \frac{0.02}{-0.008} = -2.5 \\ &#10;x_2=\frac{-1-1.02}{-0.008} = \frac{2.02}{-0.008} = 252.5

Since distance cannot be negative (x1), the correct answer is x2 = 252.5 ft

Find the values of x and y so that ABCD will be a parallelogram.
arsen [322]

Given:

Figure of a parallelogram.

To find:

The values of x and y.

Solution:

If two parallel lines intersected by a transversal line, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

4x=24            (Alternate interior angles)

x=\dfrac{24}{4}

x=6

And,

y-10=32            (Alternate interior angles)

y=32+10

y=42

The value of x is 6 and the value of y is 42.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
