The parabolic arch of a bridge over a one-way road can be described by the equation y = -x^2 + 6, where x and y ar emeasured in

Vladimir [108]

So check the picture below

if we check the solutions or zeros for the equation, we get $\bf y=-x^2+6\implies 0=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{6}$

and as you can see in the picture, the value of "x" when y = 3.5, or the height of the truck is $\bf y=-x^2+6\implies 3.5=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{2.5}$

the truck, ends up with a clearance of $\bf \sqrt{2.5}-1.5$ on either side, so, the maximum clearance, the truck can have, those two clearances added together, $\bf 2(\sqrt{2.5}-1.5)$

A roller coaster starts with the cars being pulled up a ramp. The mass of the cars is estimated by the function m(p) = 175p + 1,

KiRa [710]

Answer:

$E(p)=51,450p+346,920$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function

$m(p) = 175p + 1,180$

gives the mass of the car as a function of the number of passengers in it.

And the function

$E(m) = 9.8m*h$

gives the potential energy of the car as a function of the car's mass.

Now if the height of the ramp is 30 meters, we have

$E(m) =9.8m*(30)$

$E(m) =294m$

And to find the potential energy as a function of the number of passengers, we just substitute $m(p)$ into $E(m)$ to get:

$E(m(p))=294(175p+1180)$

$\boxed{ E(p)=51,450p+346,920}$

which gives the potential energy as a function of the number of passengers.

PLEASE I NEED HELP!! what are two ways that you can tell that two ratios form a proportion? i really need to pass this test to g

ioda

Answer:

A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a:b = c:d. The following proportion is read as "twenty is to twenty-five as four is to five."
