Solving a Real-World Problem
The quadratic function y = -x2 + 10x - 8 models the height of a trestle on a bridge. The x-axis represents ground level.

To find where the section of the bridge meets ground level, solve 0 = -x2 + 10x - 8.

Where does this section of the bridge meet ground level?

Choose an equation that would be used to solve 0 = -x2 + 10x – 8

(x + 25)2 = –8
(x – 5)2 = 17

(x – 10)2 = 25
Solve the equation to find where the trestle meets ground level. Enter your answers from least to greatest and round to the nearest tenth.

units and
units.

Titus works at a hotel. part of his job is to keep the complimentary pitcher of water at least half full and always with ice. when he starts his shift, the water level shows 4 gallons, or 128 cups of water. as the shift progresses, he records the level of the water every 10 minutes. after 2 hours, he uses a regression calculator to compute an equation for the decrease in water. his equation is w –0.414t + 129.549, where t is the number of minutes and w is the level of water. according to the equation, after about how many minutes would the water level be less than or equal to 64 cups?
