An architect was asked to build a special staircase in a new building. The staircase will be built like a helix that rotates aro

und the outside of a cylindrical waterfall. Because it is a helix, the beginning of the staircase begins at a point directly above the position where the staircase ends at the bottom base of the column. Describe how to find the length of the staircase if the cylinder it surrounds is 30 m in height and has a radius of 12 m

Answer:

\Delta s \approx 754.579\,m (See explanation below).

Step-by-step explanation:

Each floor has a height of 3 meters. Then, the number of floors of the cylinder is:

n = \frac{30\,m}{3\,m}

n = 10\,floors

Let consider that spiral makes a revolution per floor. Then, the parametric equations of the spiral are:

x = r\cdot \cos \theta

y = r\cdot \sin \theta

z = \Delta h \cdot \frac{\theta}{2\pi}

Length of the staircase can be modelled by using the formula for arc length:

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{d\theta} \right) ^{2}+\left(\frac{dy}{d\theta} \right)^{2}+\left(\frac{dz}{d\theta}\right)^{2}}} \, d\theta

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{\left(-r\cdot \sin \theta\right)^{2}+\left(r\cdot \cos \theta\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{\Delta h}{2\pi} \right)^{2}} } \, d\theta

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{r^{2}+\frac{(\Delta h)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} }} \, d\theta

\Delta s = \sqrt{(12\,m)^{2}+\frac{(3\,m)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} } \cdot (20\pi-0)

\Delta s \approx 754.579\,m

If h(x) = −3x − 10, find h(−3). (1 point)
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

h(- 3) = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = - 3 into h(x) , that is

h(- 3) = - 3(- 3) - 10 = 9 - 10 = - 1

The legs of the right triangle are 2 and 4. Find the length of the hypotenuse.
RoseWind [281]

Correct answer:

19.7ft

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the Pythagorean theorem  (a2+b2=c2).  In this formula a and b are the legs of the right triangle while c is the hypotenuse.

Using the labels of our triangle we have:

o2+a2=h2

\dpi{100} h^{2}=(10ft)^{2} +(17ft)^{2}

h2=100ft2+289ft2

h=389ft2−−−−−√

Correct Answer →19.7ft

Hope this helps!

Here are the graphs of L(x) and R(x) what are the values of L(2) and R(2)
Sedaia [141]

Using the function graph given, it is found that:

  • L(2) = 7.
  • R(2) = 1.

When a piece-wise function is given, that is, a function that has <em>multiple definitions</em>, the numeric value at x when the definition changes is given by the closed circle.

  • For function L(x), when x = 2, the closed circle is at y = 7, hence, L(2) = 7.
  • For function R(x), when x = 2, the closed circle is at y = 1, hence, R(2) = 1.
