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

Solve for x and y.<br> y = 2/3x - 2<br> y = -x + 3
sesenic [268]

Answer:

1. x= 3y+6/2

y=2/3x-2

2.x=−y+3

y=−x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's solve for x.

y=2/3x-2

Step 1: Flip the equation.

2/3x-2=y

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2/3x-2+2=y+2

2/3x=y+2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2/3.

2/3x/2/3=y+2/2/3

x= 3y+6/2

Let's solve for y.

y=2/3x-2

2. Let's solve for x.

y=−x+3

Step 1: Flip the equation.

−x+3=y

Step 2: Add -3 to both sides.

−x+3+−3=y+−3

−x=y−3

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

-x/-1=y-3/-1

x=−y+3

Let's solve for y.

y=−x+3

here are two graphs if you need a better explanation
