Model 3: Another plan to secure the roller coaster involves placing two concrete struts on either side of the center of the leg of the roller coaster to add reinforcement against southerly winds in the region. Again, using the center of the half-circle as the origin, the struts are modeled by the equations y=√x+8 and y=√x-4 . A vertical reinforcement beam will extend from one strut to the other when the two cables are 2 feet apart. Algebraically determine the x -value of where the beam should be placed.

step-by-step explanation:

if you meant, "on the way from (3, 2) to (3, 14):

x does not change; y increases by 12.

ensure that you have copied down this problem correctly.   .

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point

a

step-by-step explanation:

strong negative correlation

easy its decreasing

step-by-step explanation:

because its top point is at the to of the graph on the left side (atleast from the veiw i see it) now if that top point wast in the lower part of the graph it would be increasing hope this have a nice day
