Given that the number of bridges has been modeled by the function:
<span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
To find the year in which, y=505000 we shall proceed as follows:
From:
</span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
substituting y=505000 we shall have:
505000=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
simplifying the above we get:
0=149(x+1.5)^2-15495
expanding the above we get:
0=149x^2+447x+335.25-15495
simplifying
0=149x^2+447x-15159.8
solving the quadratic equation by quadratic formula we get:
x~8.69771 or x~-11.6977
hence we take positve number:
x~8.69771~8.7 years~9 years
thus the year in which the number will be 505000 will be:
2000+9=2009
Total = 25 + 10 + 15 = 50
Green = 25
P(green) = 25/50 = 1/2
Answer: 1/2
1 x 19 = 19
2 x 9.5 = 19
4 x 4.75 = 19
Answer
You make all the denominators to 12.
That makes Gilbert the fastest and Simon the slowest.
