The y-value stays the same.
Given that the number of bridges has been modeled by the function:
<span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
To find the year in which, y=505000 we shall proceed as follows:
From:
</span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
substituting y=505000 we shall have:
505000=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
simplifying the above we get:
0=149(x+1.5)^2-15495
expanding the above we get:
0=149x^2+447x+335.25-15495
simplifying
0=149x^2+447x-15159.8
solving the quadratic equation by quadratic formula we get:
x~8.69771 or x~-11.6977
hence we take positve number:
x~8.69771~8.7 years~9 years
thus the year in which the number will be 505000 will be:
2000+9=2009
I thinksss it’s x=8 if not I’m sooo sorry
Answer:
Solution given;
a⁴-23a²b²+b⁴
making in the form of a²+2ab+b²
a⁴+2a²b²+b⁴-2a²b²-23a²b²
(a²+b²)²-(5ab)²
factoring by using formula
x²-y²=(x+y)(x-y)
<u>(a²+5ab+b²)(a²-5ab+b²)</u>
