Her chances of getting that should be 2/6
Vertex at the origin and opening down → y=ax^2
Width: w=16
x=w/2→x=16/2→x=8
x=8, y=-16→y=ax^2→-16=a(8)^2→-16=a(64)→-16/64=a(64)/64→-1/4=a→a=-1/4
y=ax^2→y=-(1/4)x^2
7 m from the edge of the tunnel → x=w/2-7=8 m-7 m→x=1 m
x=1→y=-(1/4)x^2=-(1/4)(1)^2=-(1/4)(1)→y=-1/4
Vertical clearance: 16-1/4=16-0.25→Vertical clearance=15.75 m
Please, see the attached file.
Answer: Third option 15.75 m
Do 13,500 times .012. Take that answer and multiply it by 10. From that answer, subtract it from 13,500. That would be your final answer.
To solve this, subtract 6 from both sides of the greater than sign to get..
x is greater than -4
Supposing 2x-7 were a factor, then 7/2 would be a root. Use synth. div. to determine whether 7/2 actually is a root:
__________________________
7/2 / 6 -21 -4 24 -35
21 0 -14 35
----------------------------------------
6 0 -4 10 0
Since the remainder is zero, 7/2 is a root and 2x - 7 is a factor.
