the coordinates where the bridges must be built is
and
.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , a road follows the shape of a parabola f(x)=3x2– 24x + 39. A road that follows the function g(x) = 3x – 15 must cross the stream at point A and then again at point B. Bridges must be built at those points.We need to find Identify the coordinates where the bridges must be built. Let's find out:
Basically we need to find values of x for which f(x) = g(x) :
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Value of g(x) at x = 3 : y=3x -15 = 3(3)-15 = -6
Value of g(x) at x = 6 : y=3x -15 = 3(6)-15 = 3
Therefore , the coordinates where the bridges must be built is
and
.
Answer:
4 and 1/2 miles (or 9/2 miles)
Step-by-step explanation:
I would set this up as a proportion
3/4 x
10 60
Cross multiply
60 x 3/4 = 45
Divide
45/10 = 4.5
4.5 = 4 and 1/2 miles
F(x) - g(x) = -2x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x
Add them all together and multiply by 2
