Engineers built an arch bridge across a river. The arch bridge makes a parabola shape that has the equation
y=-0.1(x – 5)2 + 12, where x and y are measured in
meters. If the bridge makes contact with both banks at a height
of 4 meters, how long is the distance between the two banks
of the river where the bridge is? Round your answer to the
nearest whole number.

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
