Tina should make 31 inch tall model to replicate 155 feet tall monument.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by direct unitary methods easily-
Firstly, Scale is the ratio of the dimension of the original substance to the dimension of a model
Scale= original dimension/ model dimension
Model is the miniaturised representation of a substance.
The monument is 155 feet tall
Tina replicates it with a scale 1inch: 5 feet
Thus, this means that Tina would need 155*1/5 = 31 inch tall model to replicate the complete length of the monument.
Hence Tina needs to make 31-inch tall model.
General equation of parabola: y-k = a(x-h)^2
Here the vertex is at (0,0), so we have y-0 = a(x-0)^2, or y = ax^2
All we have to do now is to find the value of the coefficient a.
(1,2) is on the curve. Therefore, 2 = a(1)^2, or 2 = a(1), or a = 2.
The equation of this parabola is y = 2x^2.
Answer is “D” I took the test my self
