Question: The function r ( x ) =-0.000345( x - 50) 2 + 2.1can be used to model the curve of a road designed to allow

The function r(x) =-0.000345(x- 50)2+ 2.1can be used to model the curve of a road designed to allow for water to run off in rainstorms depending on the distance from the shoulder of the road, x, in feet. A European firm studying these curves is going to convert feet to meters using the function m(x) = 0.3048x.

Which composition can be used to model the curve of the road in terms of meters?

m(r(x)) =-0.000105156(x- 50)2+ 2.1

m(r(x)) =-0.000105156(x- 50)2+ 0.64008

m(r(x)) =-0.000345(0.3048x- 50)2+ 2.1

m(r(x)) =-0.000345(0.3048x- 50)2+ 0.64008
