Question

In 1895, a brick arch railway bridge was built on North Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. The arch is described by the equation h = 9 −1/50x², where h is the height in yards and x is the distance in yards from the center of the bridge.
a. Graph this equation on your calculator and describe, to the nearest yard, where the
bridge touches the ground.

Answer 1

Answer:

21.213

or

(21.213,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept = 9

slope= -1/50x^2

I graphed it and it was a parabola and it hit the ground at this coordinate (21.213,0)
