An experimental model for a suspension bridge is built in the shape of a parabolic arch. In one section, cable runs from the top

of one tower down to the roadway, just touching it there, and up again to the top of a second tower. The towers are both 9 inches tall and stand 60 inches apart. Find the vertical distance from the roadway to the cable at a point on the road 12 inches from the lowest point of the cable.

First find the function of the form ax^2+bx+c...

We have the points (-30,9),(0,0),(30,9) so we know c=0 then we have:

900a-30b=9
900a+30b=9  adding these together

1800a=18, a=1/100 then 900a-30b=9 becomes:

9-30b=9

-30b=0 so b=0 so the parabola is just:

y(x)=x^2/100

y(12)=144/100=36/25

y(12)=1.44 in

Sadie bought 9 cans of peaches for ,$12 at the rate how much would she pay for 21 cans of peaches​
storchak [24]
$27.93

You want to know how much she payed for 1 can. So you divide $12 by 9 cans. For one can, she paid $1.33. Now multiply that by 21 cans.
1.33•21=27.93

Help with this please!!
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Table D is the only one that pairs a quarter with every other available coin. It follows on by doing the same with the dime and with the nickel. Apparently, we're not interested in (dime, quarter) once we have identified (quarter, dime) as a possible outcome.
