Considering the vertex of the quadratic function, it is found that:
A robot traveling along the surface of the curved pit reaches a minimum depth of -22.25 feet.
<h3>What is the vertex of a quadratic equation?</h3>
A quadratic equation is modeled by:
The vertex is given by:
In which:
Considering the coefficient a, we have that:
- If a < 0, the vertex is a maximum point.
- If a > 0, the vertex is a minimum point.
In this problem, the function is given by:
y = 0.75x² - 13.5x + 57.75.
Which means that the coefficients are a = 0.75 > 0, b = -13.5, c = 57.75.
Thus, the minimum value is given by:
Thus:
A robot traveling along the surface of the curved pit reaches a minimum depth of -22.25 feet.

Answer:
17.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of a parabola above its vertex is proportional to the square of the distance from the vertex.
<h3>Cable height</h3>
The towers are 1200 m apart, so each is 600 m from center. The location of interest is 300 m from center, so 1/2 the distance to a tower. Since the height is proportional to the square of the distance, the height half-way to the tower will be (1/2)² = 1/4 the height of the tower.
(1/2)²×(70 m) = 17.5 m
The height of the cable 300 m from center will be 17.5 meters.
The image of the point is still a point. The reflection point across the y-axis is (4,6)
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
(whole secant) x (external part) = (whole secant) x (external part)
(6+x) * 6 =(5+x+3) *5
(6+x) * 6 =(x+8) *5
Distribute
36+6x = 5x+40
Subtract 5x from each side
36+6x-5x = 5x-5x+40
36+x = 40
Subtract 36 from each side
36+x-36 = 40-36
x = 4
nope, this answer is 0.15
