A building has an entry the shape of a parabolic arch 84 ft high and 42 ft wide at the base, as shown below. A parabola opening

down with vertex at the origin is graphed on the coordinate plane. The height of the parabola from top to bottom is 84 feet and its width from left to right is 42 feet. Find an equation for the parabola if the vertex is put at the origin of the coordinate system. (

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the nature of the information we are given, we have no choice but to use the equation

y=a(x-h)^2+k

and solve for a.

We know by the info that the vertex is (0, 84). We also know that if the vertex is at the origin, and that the base is 42 feet wide, it spans 21 feet to the right of the origin and 21 feet to the left of the origin. That means that we have 2 coordinates from which we need to pick one for our x and y in the equation. I don't like negatives, so I am going to choose the coordinate (21, 0) as x and y. Because this parabola opens upside down, as archways of door openings do, our "a" value better come out algebraically as a negative. Let's see...From the vertex we have that h = 0 and k = 84. So filling in:

0=a(21-0)^2+84 and simplifying a bit:

0 = 441a + 84 and

-84 = 441a so

a=-\frac{84}{441}=-\frac{4}{21} Good, a is negative. Your equation is, then:

y=-\frac{4}{21}x^2+84

On Novenber 4, your bank statement shows a balance of $2,253.18. Your checkbook shows a balance of $2,324.34. If there are outst
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The final answer is "$2387.85 and $2594.85".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

The bank statement balance= $2,253.18

The checkbook balance = $2,324.34

outstanding check amounts= $105.50 and $158.10

transit amount= $605.27

account earnin(credits)= $68.51

service charge= $5.00

Adjusted Checkbook Balance =?

Adjusted  Statement Balance=?

Adjusted the Checkbook Balance:

checkbook balance = $2,324.34

\text{total checkbook balance = checkbook balance+ credits}\\

                                      = \$ 2,324.34+ \$ 68.51\\\\= \$ 2392.85

\text{ Adjust check book balance= total checkbook balance - servicec  charge}

                                         = \$2392.85 - \$5.00\\\\= \$ 2387.85

Adjusted the Statement Balance:

bank statement balance= $2,253.18

\text{total Statement balance = bank  Statement balance+  transit amount}\\

                                      = \$ 2,253.18+ \$ 605.27\\\\= $ 2,858.45

\text{outstanding check amounts = $105.50+ $158.10}

                                           = \$263.60

\text{ Adjust statement  balance= total statement balance - outstanding check amount }                                        = \$ 2,858.45 -  \$263.60\\\\= $ 2,594.85

The length of a rectangular deck is 4 times its width if the decks perimeter is 30 ft, what is the decks area
omeli [17]

Answer:

The area of the rectangular deck is 36 sq feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the deck  =  k ft

So, the length of the deck = (4k) ft

Now, perimeter = 30 ft

PERIMETER OF A RECTANGLE =  2(LENGTH + WIDTH)

⇒2( k + 4k)  = 30

or, 2 x 5k = 30   ⇒  10k = 30

⇒ k = 30/10 = 3

So, the width of the deck = k  = 3 ft

Length of the deck = 4k = 3 x 4  = 12 ft

Now, AREA OF A RECTANGLE =  LENGTH X WIDTH

So, the area of the rectangular deck = 3 ft x 12 ft

                                                             = 36 sq feet

Hence, the area of the rectangular deck is 36 sq feet.
