Refer to the diagram shown below.
When x = 30 ft, the cable is at 15 ft, therefore y(30) = 15.
That is,
a(30 - h)² + k = 15 (1)
Also, because the distance between the supports is 90 ft, therefore
y(0) = 6 ft, and y(90) = 6 ft
That is,
a(-h)² + k = 6 (2)
a(90 - h)² + k = 6 (3)
From (2) and (3), obtain
a(90 - h)² = ah²
90² - 180h + h² = h²
180h = 90²
h = 45 ft.
From (1) and (2), obtain
225a + k = 15
2025a + k = 6
Therefore
1800a = -9
a = - 0.005
k = 15 - 225(-0.005) = 16.125 ft
Answer:
The equation for the cable is
y = - 0.005(x - 45)² + 16.125
A graph of the solution verifies that the solution is correct.
Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
WY is the perpendicular bisector of XZ and so divides ΔWXZ into 2 congruent triangles ΔWXY and ΔWZY
Hence WZ = WX ← corresponding sides, thus
5y - 8 = 2y + 7 ( subtract 2y from both sides )
3y - 8 = 7 ( add 8 to both sides )
3y = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since log is defined by all positive real numbers
therefore domain is all positive real number that is ( 0,∞)
Range is given by real numbers
inverse of the given function is (10^x)/7
Whose domain is all real numbers and range is all positive real number
And since we know that domain of function and range of its inverse
& range of a function and domain of its inverse is same
which we are getting in the problem
so answer is justified
