The profile of the cables on a suspension bridge may be modeled by a parabola. The central span of a bridge is 1270 ft long and

157 ft high. The parabola y=0.00039x^2 gives a good fit to the shape of the cables, where IxI less than of equal to 635, and x and y are measured in feet. Approximate the length of the cables that stretch between the tops of the two towers.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

span of bridge L=1270\ ft

height of span h=157\ ft

Equation of Parabola

y=0.00039x^2

|x| i.e.

-635

\frac{dy}{dx}=2\times 0.00039

length of Arc=\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+(\frac{dy}{dx})^2}

=\int_{-635}^{635}\sqrt{1+(\frac{dy}{dx})^2}

=\int_{-635}^{635}\sqrt{1+(0.00078x)^2}

=2\times \int_{0}^{635}\sqrt{1+(0.00078x)^2}

=2\times (660.08)

=1320.16\ ft

Maitri and Aabhas do a work in 12 hours.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • Maitri and Aabhas do a work in 12 hours
  • Aabhas and Kavya do the work in 15 hours
  • Kavya and Maitri do the work in 20 hours

<u>Solving</u>

  • Take Maitri, Aabhas, and Kavya to be x, y, z respectively
  • <u>x + y = 12</u> (1)
  • <u>y + z = 15</u> (2)
  • <u>x + z = 20</u> (3)

<u>Take Equation 1 and rewrite it so that it is equal to x.</u>

  • x = 12 - y

<u>Take Equation 2 and rewrite it so that it is equal to z.</u>

  • z = 15 - y

<u>Now, substitute these values in Equation 3.</u>

  • x + z = 20
  • 12 - y + 15 - y = 20
  • -2y + 27 = 20
  • 2y = 7
  • y = 7/2 = <u>3.5 hours [Aabhas]</u>

<u></u>

<u>Substitute the value of y in Equation 1.</u>

  • x + 3.5 = 12
  • x = <u>8.5 hours [Maitri]</u>

<u>Substitute the value of y in Equation 2.</u>

  • 3.5 + z = 15
  • z = <u>11.5 hours [Kavya]</u>

<u></u>

<u>Add the values of x, y, and z together.</u>

  • x + y + z
  • 8.5 + 3.5 + 11.5
  • 12 + 11.5
  • <u>23.5 hours [together]</u>
