Can somebody help me with this?

The profile of the cables on a suspension bridge may be modeled by a parabola. The central span of the bridge is 1210 m long and

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The approximated length of the cables that stretch between the tops of the two towers is 1245.25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabola is:

$y=0.00035x^{2}$

Compute the first order derivative of <em>y</em> as follows:

$y=0.00035x^{2}$

$\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}[0.00035x^{2}]$

$=2\cdot 0.00035x\\\\=0.0007x$

Now, it is provided that |<em>x </em>| ≤ 605.

⇒ -605 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 605

Compute the arc length as follows:

$\text{Arc Length}=\int\limits^{x}_{-x} {1+(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}})^{2}} \, dx$

$=\int\limits^{605}_{-605} {\sqrt{1+(0.0007x)^{2}}} \, dx \\\\={\displaystyle\int\limits^{605}_{-605}}\sqrt{\dfrac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}\,\mathrm{d}x\\\\={\dfrac{1}{10000}}}{\displaystyle\int\limits^{605}_{-605}}\sqrt{49x^2+100000000}\,\mathrm{d}x\\\\$

Now, let

$x=\dfrac{10000\tan\left(u\right)}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow u=\arctan\left(\dfrac{7x}{10000}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow \mathrm{d}x=\dfrac{10000\sec^2\left(u\right)}{7}\,\mathrm{d}u$

$\int dx={\displaystyle\int\limits}\dfrac{10000\sec^2\left(u\right)\sqrt{100000000\tan^2\left(u\right)+100000000}}{7}\,\mathrm{d}u$

$={\dfrac{100000000}{7}}}{\displaystyle\int}\sec^3\left(u\right)\,\mathrm{d}u\\\\=\dfrac{50000000\ln\left(\tan\left(u\right)+\sec\left(u\right)\right)}{7}+\dfrac{50000000\sec\left(u\right)\tan\left(u\right)}{7}\\\\=\dfrac{50000000\ln\left(\sqrt{\frac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}+\frac{7x}{10000}\right)}{7}+5000x\sqrt{\dfrac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}$

Plug in the solved integrals in Arc Length and solve as follows:

$\text{Arc Length}=\dfrac{5000\ln\left(\sqrt{\frac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}+\frac{7x}{10000}\right)}{7}+\dfrac{x\sqrt{\frac{49x^2}{100000000}+1}}{2}|_{limits^{605}_{-605}}\\\\$

$=1245.253707795227\\\\\approx 1245.25$

Thus, the approximated length of the cables that stretch between the tops of the two towers is 1245.25 meters.

If 12000 people voted in the election,how many people were from 50 to 64 years old

inessss [21]

Assuming that this question is based on a graph, and that this graph tells us that people 50-64 years make up 35% of all the voters, then it would mean that
35%of 12000= $\frac{35}{100} *12000=35*120=4200$

So, assuming that people at age 50-64 make up 35% of the voters, then 4200 of them voted.

What is the surface area of this figure?

disa [49]

Answer:

72 sq. mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Breaking this down, we have 2 right triangles with sides of 3, 4, and 5 miles, and 3 rectangles with dimensions 3 x 5, 4 x 5, and 5 x 5 miles. Remember that the area of a triangle is 1/2 x b x h , where b and h are the triangle's base and height. The base and height of the triangles at the bases of the figure are 3 and 4, so each triangle has an area of 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 1/2 x 12 = 6 sq. mi, or 6 + 6 = 12 sq. mi together.

Onto the rectangles, we can find their area by multiplying their length by their width. Since the width of these rectangles is the same for all three - 5 mi - we can make our lives a little easier and just "glue" the lengths together, giving us a longer rectangle with a length of 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 mi. Multiplying the two, we find the area of the rectangles to be 5 x 12 = 60 sq. mi.

Adding this area to the triangle's area gives us a total area of 12 + 60 = 72 sq. mi.

Question

15 is the same as the product of 3 and a number. Which equation models this sentence?

15=3x

15=x-3

15=3+x

15=x divided by 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 3x

x = 15 : 3

x = 5

.........................

check

15 = 3 * 5

15 = 15

the answer is good
