- Architecture The arch support of a bridge is modeled by y=0.0012x2+300 where x and y are measured in feet and the x-axis represents the ground. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the equation. (b) Identify one x-intercept of the graph. Explain how to use the intercept and the symmetry of the graph to find the width of the arch support.arrow_forwardIdentify the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of shown at the right y=x25xarrow_forwardFind the x- and y-intercepts of the graph: 2x + 3y = 6.arrow_forward
- (a) Write y=2x2+8x7 in standard form and (b) use properties of standard form to graph the equation.arrow_forwardGraph using the intercepts: x2y=4 .arrow_forwardApplications Waste management The corrosive waste is industrial sewage limits the useful life of the piping in a waste processing plant to 12 years. The piping system was originally worth 137,000, and it will cost the company 33, 000 to remove it at the end of its 12-year useful life. Find a depreciation equation.arrow_forward
- Find the coefficients a, b, c, and d so that the graph of the equation y = ax³ + bx² + cx+d passes through the points (0, 10), (1,7), (3,-11) and (4, -14).arrow_forward0 = (x - 1)2 - 8 Find the x coordinatesarrow_forwardWrite the slope-intercept form of the equation of the "line g" as described. Line g passes through: (4,−5)a) Write the equation of line gg if it is parallel to line hh which passes through points (1,2) and (−1,−3) .b) Write the equation of line gg if it is perpendicular to line hh which passes through points (1,2) and (-1,-3) .arrow_forward
