A door of a lecture hall is in a parabolic shape. The door is 56 inches across at the bottom of the door and parallel to the flo

or and 32 inches high. Sketch and find the equation describing the shape of the door. If you are 22 inches tall, how far must you stand from the edge of the door to keep from hitting your head?

Answer:

The parabolic shape of the door is represented by y - 32 = -\frac{2}{49}\cdot x^{2}. (See attachment included below). Head must 15.652 inches away from the edge of the door.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is represented by the following mathematical expression:

y - k = C \cdot (x-h)^{2}

Where:

h - Horizontal component of the vertix, measured in inches.

k - Vertical component of the vertix, measured in inches.

C - Parabola constant, dimensionless. (Where vertix is an absolute maximum when C < 0 or an absolute minimum when C > 0)

For the design of the door, the parabola must have an absolute maximum and x-intercepts must exist. The following information is required after considering symmetry:

V (x,y) = (0, 32) (Vertix)

A (x, y) = (-28, 0) (x-Intercept)

B (x,y) = (28. 0) (x-Intercept)

The following equation are constructed from the definition of a parabola:

0-32 = C \cdot (28 - 0)^{2}

-32 = 784\cdot C

C = -\frac{2}{49}

The parabolic shape of the door is represented by y - 32 = -\frac{2}{49}\cdot x^{2}. Now, the representation of the equation is included below as attachment.

At x = 0 inches and y = 22 inches, the distance from the edge of the door that head must observed to avoid being hit is:

y -32 = -\frac{2}{49} \cdot x^{2}

x^{2} = -\frac{49}{2}\cdot (y-32)

x = \sqrt{-\frac{49}{2}\cdot (y-32) }

If y = 22 inches, then x is:

x = \sqrt{-\frac{49}{2}\cdot (22-32)}

x = \pm 7\sqrt{5}\,in

x \approx \pm 15.652\,in

Head must 15.652 inches away from the edge of the door.

Option a: The number of bacteria at time x is 0.

Option b: An exponential function that represents the population is y=200(1.5)^x

Option c: The population after 10 minutes is 11534(app)

Explanation:

It is given that the coordinates of the graph are (0,200), (1,300) and (2, 450)

Option a: To determine the number of bacteria x when y = 200

From the graph, we can see that the line meets y = 200 when x = 0

Thus, the coordinates are (0,200)

Hence, the number of bacteria at time x is 0 when y = 200.

Option b: Now, we shall determine the exponential function of the population.

The general formula for exponential function is y=a \cdot b^{x}

Where a is the starting point and a=200

b is the common difference.

To determine the common difference, let us divide,

\frac{300}{200} =1.5

Also, \frac{450}{300} =1.5

Hence, the common difference is b=1.5

Thus, substituting the values a=200 and b=1.5 in the formula y=a \cdot b^{x},

we have, y=200(1.5)^x

Hence, An exponential function that represents the population is y=200(1.5)^x

Option c: To determine the population after 10 minutes, let us substitute x=10 in y=200(1.5)^x, since the x represents the population of the bacteria in minutes.

Thus, we have,

\begin{aligned}y &=200(1.5)^{x} \\&=200(1.5)^{10} \\&=200(57.67) \\&=11534\end{aligned}

Hence, the population after 10 minutes is 11534(app)
