The lowest point of the cables above the bridge is 48 feet above the bridge.

The statement give us a parabola equation in standard form, the vertical distance of the lowest point above the bridge is determined by the y-coordinate of the vertex. Hence, the lowest point of the cables above the bridge is 48 feet above the bridge.

Ali hops on his 3 wheeler and heads off at 12 mph. Two hours later, Fatimah chases after him on a moped at 18 mph. How far will

mash [69]

Answer: 72 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the relationship:

Distance = speed*time.

Then we can write the equation for distance as a function of time for Ali as:

A(t) = 12mph*t

where t is time in hours.

Fatimah's equation will be:

F(t) = 18mph*(t - 2h)

where the -2h appears because she starts two hours after Ali.

Fatimah will overtake Ali when F(t) = A(t) (their positions are the same)

Then we need to solve:

12mph*t = 18mph*(t - 2h)

12mph*t = 18mph*t - 18mph*2h

12mph*t = 18mph*t - 36 mi

36 mi = (18mph - 12mph)*t

36mi = 6mph*t

36mi/6mph = t

6h = t

So Ali travels for 6 hours before he gets overtaken, then the total distance that Ali travels is:

A(6h) = 12mph*6h = 72 mi

What is the following product? (4x square root 5x^2 + 2^2 square root 6)^2

tangare [24]

The product is $104 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}$

Explanation:

The given expression is $\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}$

We need to determine the product of the given expression.

First, we shall simplify the given expression.

Thus, we have,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x \sqrt{5} x+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^2$

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^2$

Expanding the expression, we have,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)$

Now, we shall apply FOIL, we get,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=\left(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5}\right)^{2}+2 ( 2 x^{2} \sqrt{6})(4 x^{2} \sqrt{5})+\left(2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}$

Simplifying the terms, we have,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=16 \cdot 5 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}+4 \cdot 6 x^{4}$

Multiplying, we get,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=80 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}+24 x^{4}$

Adding the like terms, we get,

$\left(4 x \sqrt{5 x^{2}}+2 x^{2} \sqrt{6}\right)^{2}=104 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}$

Thus, the product of the given expression is $104 x^{4}+16 \sqrt{30} x^{4}$
