The focus of the arch is 75 ft. above ground

<span>First of all, there should be coherence for the units of measurement -- either they are all meters or they are all ft. I would assume they are all ft. The correct answer is 75 ft above. T The explanation is the following: suppose the ground level is the x-axis, the 2 feet of the arch lie respectively on (0,0) and (100,0) on the ground level. Since the arch is 100ft high, the vertex of the parabola will be the point (100,100). Thus, we can find the equation describing the parabola by putting the three points we know in a system and we find that the equation of the parabola is y=(-1/100)x^2+2 To find the focus F, we apply the formula for the focus of a vertical axis parabola, i.e. F(-b/2a;(1-b^2+4ac)/4a). By substituting a=-1/100, b=2 and c=0 into the formula, we find that the coordinates of the focus F are (100,75). So we conclude that the focus lies 75ft above ground.</span>

Y=2x-2 and 4x+2y=12. solve the equation PLEASE SHOW WORK​
diamong [38]
<h3>The solution as an ordered pair is (x,y) = (2,2)</h3><h3>x = 2 and y = 2 pair up together.</h3>

===============================

Work Shown:

4x+2y = 12

4x+2( y ) = 12

4x+2( 2x-2 ) = 12 ... replace y with 2x-2

4x+2( 2x ) + 2( -2 ) = 12 ... distribution rule

4x+4x-4 = 12

8x-4 = 12

8x-4+4 = 12+4 ... add 4 to both sides

8x = 16

8x/8 = 16/8 ... divide both sides by 8

x = 2 is the first part of the answer

Use x = 2 to find y

y = 2x-2

y = 2(2)-2 ... replace x with 2

y = 4-2

y = 2 is the second part of the answer
