Question

A water taxi travels around an island in a path that can be modeled by the equation y=0.5(x-14)^2 . A water skier is skiing along a path that begins at the point (6,4) and ends at the point (8,4)
Write a system of equations to model the problem.
Is it possible that the water skier could collide with the​ taxi? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

 

A water taxi travels around an island in a path that can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 16). A water skier is skiing along a path that begins at the point (6,6) and ends at the point (8. - 4).

a. Write a system of equations to model the problem.

b. Is it possible that the water skier could collide with the taxi? Explain
