The basic formula of a parabola is;

y -k= 4a (x-h)^2

Solving for this, the vertical clearance 7m forom the edge of the tunnel must be

15.7m

Hope this helps! Goodluck!

Vertex at the origin and opening down → y=ax^2
Width: w=16
x=w/2→x=16/2→x=8
x=8, y=-16→y=ax^2→-16=a(8)^2→-16=a(64)→-16/64=a(64)/64→-1/4=a→a=-1/4

y=ax^2→y=-(1/4)x^2

7 m from the edge of the tunnel → x=w/2-7=8 m-7 m→x=1 m
x=1→y=-(1/4)x^2=-(1/4)(1)^2=-(1/4)(1)→y=-1/4

Vertical clearance: 16-1/4=16-0.25→Vertical clearance=15.75 m

Please, see the attached file.

Answer: Third option 15.75 m

Find the equation of the line specified. The line passes through the points ( 5, 2) and ( 6, 4) a. y = 2x - 8 c. y = 2x + 12 b.
o-na [289]
<span>( 5, 2) and ( 6, 4)
slope m = (4-2)/(6-5) = 2

y = mx + b
b = y - mx
b = 2 - 2(5)
b = 2 - 10
b = -8

so now you have slope m = 2 and y intercept b = -8

equation
y = 2x - 8

answer
</span><span>a. y = 2x - 8</span>
