A water taxi travels around an island in a path that can be modeled by the equation y=0.5(x-14)^2 . A water skier is skiing along a path that begins at the point (6,4) and ends at the point (8,4) Write a system of equations to model the problem.
Is it possible that the water skier could collide with the taxi? Explain

A water taxi travels around an island in a path that can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 16). A water skier is skiing along a path that begins at the point (6,6) and ends at the point (8. - 4).

a. Write a system of equations to model the problem.

b. Is it possible that the water skier could collide with the taxi? Explain

Step-by-step explanation:

to apply for that college regardless of the sat aveage

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
