A bridge spans a distance of 1012m. Large cables are attached to the tops of the towers, 45 m above the road. The road is suspended from the large cables by many smaller vertical cables. The smallest vertical cable measures about 1.5m. Determine a quadratic equation for the large cables.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A quadratic equation for the large cables is [tex]f(x) = \dfrac{87 }{512072} \cdot x^2 + 1.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the quadratic equation representing the large cables is a parabola

Taking the point of the smallest vertical cables as the vertex, (h, k) with coordinates, (0, 1.5), we have;

h = -b/(2·a)

∴ 0 = -b/(2·a), from which we have, b = 2·a × 0 = 0

k = 1.5 = c - (b²/(4·a) = c - (0/(4·a)) = c

∴ c = 1.5

The standard form of the quadratic equation, a·(x - h)² + k is therefore, given as follows;

f(x) = a·(x - 0)² + 1.5 = a·x² + 1.5

At the towers which are on either side of the bridge, when x = 1012/2 = 506, f(x) = y = 45

Therefore, we have;

45 = a·506² + 1.5

a = (45 - 1.5)/506² = 87/512072 ≈ 1.699 × 10⁻⁴

The quadratic equation for the large cables, f(x), can therefore be presented as follows;

[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{87 }{512072} \cdot x^2 + 1.5[/tex]

Tameka pilots a hot air balloon. She lowers the balloon
five times, going down an equal distance each time. In
all, Tameka lowers the balloon 75 m.
What integer represents the change in the hot air
balloon’s elevation each time Tameka lowers it?
What does this integer tell you?

Answers

Answer:

15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Change in distance is the same each time Ballon is lowered ;

Number of times Ballon is lowered = 5 times ;

Total change in distance = 75 m

Change in distance per time lowered equals ;

(Total change in elevation / Numbe rof times Ballon is lowered)

75m / 5

= 15 m

Hence, Ballon height changes by 15 m each time it is lowered.

The integer gives the lowering rate.

HELP ASAP!! I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! Write an equation for the graph.​

Answers

Answer:

y = 7/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is find the slope by using the formula change in y divided by change in x of the two points. You can see that y goes up by 14 when x goes up by 8. This means that the slope is 14/8, or 7/4.

The equation would then be y = 7/4x

Which equation describes the line with slope 5 that contains the point (-2,4)?

B. y = 5x-22
C. y - 5x + 14

Answers

Answer:

The value of x = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that two angles are termed as supplementary when the sum of the measure of their angles is 180°.

We also know that a straight line angle measures 180°.

It is clear that the angles 72° and 9x° line on a straight line. Thus, the sum of the measure of their angles is 180°.

Therefore,

9x° + 72° = 180°

9x° = 180° - 72°

9x° = 108

divide both sides by 9

9x/9 = 108/9

x = 12

Therefore, the value of x = 12.

The diagram shows the graph of y = ax + b. Find the values of a and b *

Answers

Answer:

The values of a and b are:

a = 2b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = ax+b

where

a is the slopeb is the y-intercept

From the diagram of the line graph, we can fetch the two points

(0, 2)(-1, 0)

Determining the slope between (0, 2) and (-1, 0)

[tex]\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-1,\:0\right)[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{0-2}{-1-0}[/tex]

[tex]a=2[/tex]

Thus, the value of a = 2

We know that the value of the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.

From the graph, it is clear

at x = 0, y = 2

Thus, the y-intercept b = 2

now substituting a = 2 and b = 2 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = ax+b

y = 2x + 2         ∵ a = 2 , b = 2

Thus, the line of equation is:

y = 2x+2

now comparing with y = ax+b

Here:

a = 2

b = 2

Therefore, the values of a and b are:

a = 2b = 2

Answers

9)

If y varies directly with x and y = -3 when x = 6, find y when x = 14.

We know if y varies directly with x, we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where k is called the constant of variation.

we are given y = -3 when x = 6

so substitute y = -3 and x = 6 to determine 'k'

k = y/x

k = -3/6 = -1/2

Now we have to find y when x = 14

so substituting x = 14 and k = -1/2 to find y

y = kx

y =  -1/2 × 14 = -7

Therefore, the value of y = -7 when x = 14

10) If y is directly proportional to x and y = 4 when x = 3, find x when y = -12.

we are given y = 4 when x = 3

so substitute y = 4 and x = 3 to determine 'k'

k = y/x

k = 4/3

Now we have to find x when y = -12

so substituting y = -12 and k = 4/3 to find x

y = kx

x = y/k

x = [-12] / [4/3] = [-12×3] / [4]

x = -36/4

x = -9

Therefore, the value of x = -9 when x = 3

11)

If y varies directly with x and y = -6 when x = 2, find the constant of variation.

We are given

y = -6

x = 2

so substitute y = -6 and x = 2 in the equation

k = y/x

k = -6/2

k = -3

Therefore, the value of the constant of variation will be:

k = -3

Jeff, Lauren, and Sarah finished their meal, and their total for the three dinners before tax was $21.65. If the tax on their meal was 8.5%, how much was the total cost of their meal with tax? Round to the nearest hundreth.

Answers

Answer: The total cost of their meal with tax= $23.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of the three dinners before tax = $21.65

Tax = 8.5%

Tax amount = 8.5% of ( Cost of the three dinners before tax)

= (0.085) x 21.65        [0.085 = 8.5%]

= $1.84025 ≈ $ 1.84

The total cost of their meal with tax = Cost + Tax amount

= 21.65 + 1.84

= $23.49

Hence, the total cost of their meal with tax= $23.49
