In a simple video game, a rocket travels in an elliptical orbit whose path is described by the equation 4x2 + 25y² lines tangent to its path. The object of the game is to destroy an incoming asteroid travelling along the positive x-axis toward (0,0). If the rocket fires a missile when it is located at (3, where will it itersect the x –axis? 100. The rocket can fire missiles along

An historic, parabolic arch which provides a walkway under a building can be modeled by the equation y = 36 -0.04x², with all values given in ft. What is the approximate width of the arch at its widest point, in ft, if y = 0 at ground level? width of arch at widest point = feet

Please find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points of intersection of the line y = 7x - 10 and the parabola y = -3x2 -2x + 20

The shape of a parabolic satellite dish can be described by the equation y = 10x^2. Where should the microphone be placed?
