Answer:

6.41 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation is y=ax^2

y=15

x=16.5

15=a(16.5)^2

a=0.055

So, to get depth at 4 ft from edge, I assume my new x value is 12.5.

Derived from 16.5 - 4 = 12.5

So:

y= 0.055 * (12.5)^2

y = 8.59

To get depth, I assume subtract from center depth of 15ft.

15ft - 8.59ft = 6.41ft

Answer is 6.41ft.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon

<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:

<u>To find the solution to a system of equation</u>

  ⇒ <em>must set</em> the equations equal to each other

     ⇒ and solve

<u>Let's put that into action</u>

  x^2-2x+3 = -2x + 12\\x^2-2x+2x+3-12=0\\x^2-9=0\\(x+3)(x-3)=0

  • At this point, to make the whole thing equal zero

          ⇒ either 'x+3' or 'x-3' equals zero

              ⇒ must find 'x' that satisify either equation

                    x-3=0\\x=3\\\\x+3=0\\x=-3

<u>Let's find the corresponding f(x) to each x-value</u>

  f(3) = -2(3)+12=-6+12 = 6\\\\f(-3) = -2(-3) + 12=6+12=18

<u>Therefore the solutions are (3,6) and (-3,18)</u>

<u />

<u>Answer: (3,6), (-3,18)</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!
