Answer:
52 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
The club starting with $270 (club 1) is increasing their bank balance each week by ...
... $280 -270 = $10
The club starting with $10 (club 2) is increasing their bank balance each week by ...
... $25 -10 = $15
Club 2 is gaining on Club 1 by $15 -10 = $5 each week. So, the initial difference of $270 -10 = $260 will be overcome in ...
... $260/($5/week) = 52 weeks
_____
The same result is shown in the attached graph, which also shows that both clubs' bank balances will be $790 at that time.
Refer to the diagram shown below. It shows a vertical cross-section of the paraboloid through its axis of symmetry.
Let the vertex of the parabola be at the origin. Then its equation is of the form
y = bx²
Because the parabola passes through (18,8), therefore
8 = b(18²)
b = 0.02469
The parabola is y = 0.02469x².
The receiver should be placed at the focal point of the paraboloid for optimal reception.
The y-coordinate of the focus is
a = 1/(4b) = 1/0.098765 = 10.125 in
Answer: The receiver is located at 10.125 inches from the vertex.
