You live near a bridge that goes over a river. The underneath side of the bridge is an arch that can be modeled with the functio

n y= -0.000475x^2 + 0.851x, where x and y in feet. How high above is the river bridge (the top of the arch)? How long is section of bridge above the arch?
A)The bridge is about 1,791.58 ft. above the river, and the length of the bridge above the arch is about 381.16 ft.

B)The bridge is about 1,791.58 ft. above the river, and the length of the bridge above the arch is about 895.79 ft.

C)The bridge is about 381.16 ft. above the river, and the length of the bridge above the arch is about 895.79 ft.

D)The bridge is about 381.16 ft. above the river, and the length of the bridge above the arch is about 1,791.58 ft

<span>y= -0.000475x^2 + 0.851x

How high above is the river bridge (the top of the arch)?

You have to find the vertex of of the parabole: the y-coordinate is the highest point.

Remember that the x-coordinate of the vertex of a parabole is at - b / 2a.

That is  x = - 0.851 / [ 2(-0.000475) = 895.79

The corresponden y is y = </span><span>-0.000475(895.79)^2 + 0.851(895.79) = 381.16 feet above the river.

How long is section of bridge above the arch?

The section of the brige is equal to the difference of the two roots

Roots: </span><span>y= -0.000475x^2 + 0.851x = 0

=> x( - 0.000475x + 0.851) = 0

=> x = 0 and x = 0.851 / 0.000475 = 1791.58

Then the section is 1791.58 feet long.

Therefore, the answer is the option </span><span>D)The bridge is about 381.16 ft. above the river, and the length of the bridge above the arch is about 1,791.58 ft </span>

A linear regression model is fitted to the data x y 37.0 65.0 36.4 67.2 35.8 70.3 34.3 71.9 33.7 73.8 32.1 75.7 31.5 77.9 with x
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

b0= 144.59

b= -2.12

Se²= 1.02

99%CI E(Y/X=35): [68.78; 71.99]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

I've arranged the given data:

X: 37.0, 36.4, 35.8, 34.3, 33.7, 32.1, 31.5

Y: 65.0, 67.2, 70.3, 71.9, 73.8, 75.7, 77.9

The equation of the linear regression model is:

Yi= β₀ + βXi + εi

Where

Yi is the dependent variable

Xi is the independent variable

εi represents the errors or residues

β₀ is the intercept of the line

β is the slope

The conditions to make a linear regression analysis are:

For each given value of X, there is a population of Y~N(μy;σy²)

Each value of Y is independent of the others.

The population variances of each population of Y are equal.

From these conditions the following characteristic is deduced:

εi~N(0;σ²)

The parameters of the regression are:

β₀, β, and σ²

If the conditions are met then you can estimate the regression line:

Yi= bo * bXi + ei.

And the point estimation of the parameters can be calculated using the formulas:

β₀ ⇒ b0= (∑y/n)-b(∑x/n)

β ⇒ b= [∑xy- ((∑x)(∑y))/n]/(∑x²-((∑x)²/n))

σ²⇒ Se²= 1/(n-2)*[∑y²-(∑y)²/n - b²(∑x²-(∑x)²/n)]

n= 7

∑y= 501.80

∑y²= 36097.88

∑x= 240.80

∑x²= 8310.44

∑xy= 17204.87

b0= 144.59

b= -2.12

Se²= 1.02

The estimated regression line is:

Yi= 144.59 -2.12Xi

You need to calculate a 99%CI E(Y/X=35), the formula is:

(b0 + bX0) ± t_{n-2;1-\alpha /2}*\sqrt{S_e^2(\frac{1}{n}+\frac{(X_0-X[bar])^2}{sumX^2-(\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} )} )}

(144.59 + (-2.12*35)) ± 4.032*\sqrt{1.02(\frac{1}{7}+\frac{(35-34.4)^2}{8310.44-(\frac{(240.80)^2}{7} )} )}

[68.78; 71.99]

With a 99% confidence level youd expect that the interval [68.78; 71.99] contains the true value of the average of Y when X= 35.

I hope it helps!

a 10-foot ladder is placed against a vertical wall of a building, with the bottom of the ladder standing on level ground 9 feet
kompoz [17]
If this is a problem about the Pythagorean theorem, maybe this helps! If the length of the ladder is 10 feet (C) and the base is 9 feet (B), you have to multiply each number by 2, add the total of both numbers and then round the number to the nearest hundreths ( use the radical button on your calculator) and there you have it , you will have the answer on your calculator. I hope this helps ;-)

How do you do a 3-step algebra equation?
Vlad1618 [11]
The goal of all algebra equations is to isolate the variable. In 3 step you should first make sure both variables are on the same side. To do that make sure you use the inverse.
For example:
6a + 9 = 3a + 15
because 3a is positive you're going to want to subtract it.
6a + 6 = 3a + 15
-3a         -3a
_______________
3a + 6 = 15

Now it's a 2 step equation and you solve it on from there.
