Astone arch in a bridge forms a parabola described by the equation y = a(x-h)2 + k, where y is the height in feet of the arch above the water, x is the horizontal distance from the left end of the arch, a is a constant, and (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
what is the equation that describes the parabola formed by the arch?
y = -0.090(x-13)2 + 12
y = -0.090(x-12)2 + 13
y = -0.071(×-13)2 + 12
y =-0.071(×-13)2+ 13

< 4, -5>

step-by-step explanation:

starting from g. we move 4 right and then 5 down to get to h. that means the vector is < 4, -5>

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
