Answer:

So, the required width of rectangular piece of aluminium is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Perimeter of rectangular piece of aluminium = 62 inches

Let width of rectangular piece of aluminium = w

and length of rectangular piece of aluminium = w+15

We need to find width i.e value of x

The formula for finding perimeter of rectangle is: $Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\$

Now, Putting values in formula for finding Width w:

$Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\\\62=2(w+15+w)\\62=2(2w+15)\\62=4w+30\\62-30=4w\\4w=32\\w=\frac{32}{4}\\w=8$

After solving we get the width of rectangular piece :w = 8

So, the required width of rectangular piece of aluminium is 8 inches

A bridge in the shape of an arch connects two cities separated by a river. The two ends of the bridge are located at (–7, –13) a

Answer:

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of an arch corresponds to a parabola.

the general equation for a parabola is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

we're given three coordinates: (-7,-13),(7,-13) and (0,0)

so we can plug these values in the general equation to make 3 separate equations:

(x,y) = (-7,-13)

$-13=a(-7)^2+b(-7)+c$

$49a-7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (7,-13)

$-13=a(7)^2+b(7)+c$

$49a+7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (0,0)

$0=a(0)^2+b(7)+c$

$c=0$

so we have three equations. and we can solve them simultaneously to find the values of a,b, and c.

we've already found c = 0, let's use substitute it to other equations.

$49a-7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a-7b=-13$

$49a+7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a+7b=-13$

we can solve these two equation using the elimination method, by simply adding the two equations

$\quad\quad49a-7b=-13\\+\quad49a+7b=-13$

------------------------------

$\quad\quad 98a=-26$

$\quad\quad a=-\dfrac{13}{49}$

Now we can plug this value of a in any of the two equations.

$49a-7b=-13$

$49\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)-7b=-13$

$-13-7b=-13$

$-7b=0$

$b=0$

We have the values of a,b, and c. We can plug them in the general equation to find the equation of the arch.

$y=\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)x^2+0x+0$

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

$49y=-13x^2$

This our equation of the arch!
