The main cable of a suspension bridge is modeled by the equation [tex]y=0.0048(x-50)^2+6[/tex]. At what horizontal distances from the left support is the cable 10 ft above the roadway?
[tex]y=[/tex] height in feet of cable above the roadway
[tex]x=[/tex] horizontal distance in feet from left support

Choose the equation one must solve to answer the question.
[tex]0=0.0048(x-50)^2+6[/tex]
[tex]10=0.0048(x-50)^2+6[/tex]
[tex]y=0.0048(10-50)^2+6[/tex]

The wife's birthday, which falls on the same day of the week as her husband's birthday in March, must be in September. This is because when the calculations for days of the week are followed, September 1st aligns with March 1st being on a Monday. Therefore, the month of the wife's birthday is September.
