Answer: f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x
Step-by-step explanation:
If the lenght of the road over the arch is 100m, we can consider a coordinate plane and say that the road starts at point (0,0) and finishes at (100,0). The vertice of the parabola is at point (50,40), because the maximum height is 40 and it is always in the middle point of the roots.
So, we have
(0,0) (50,40) (100,0)
A quadratic function is always on the form: f(x) = ax² + bx + c
0 = a0² + b0 + c
40 = a50² + b50 + c
0 = a100² + b100 + c
0 = a0² + b0 + c → c = 0 ∴
40 = a50² + b50
0 = a100² + b100

2500a + 50b = 40 (*2)
10000a + 100b = 0
_________________________
5000a + 100b = 80
10000a + 100b = 0 (-)
__________________________
-5000a = 80
-a=80/5000
a=-0.016
∴
2500a + 50b = 40
2500.(-0.016) + 50b = 40
-40 + 50b = 40
50b = 80
b = 80/50
b = 1.6
This way f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x
Answer:
The expression –3 + 2x is equivalent to 2x – 3. I know it is equivalent because for every value of x that is substituted in, the two expressions simplify to the same value. I took the expression and used the commutative property to not change the value.

Answer:
v = 220 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
Small portion
v = 5 * 4 * 3
v = 60 yd²
Large portion
v = 9 * 6 * 3
v = 162 yd²
Total
v = 60 + 162
v = 220 yd²
