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

128 m high. The parabola y equals 0.00035 x squared gives a good fit to the shape of the​ cables, where StartAbsoluteValue x EndAbsoluteValue less than or equals 605​, and x and y are measured in meters. Approximate the length of the cables that stretch between the tops of the two towers.

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.

What is the answer please.... need help
mina [271]

Answer:

f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10 is the function of the least degree has the real coefficients and the leading coefficients of 1 and with the zeros -1, 5, and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10

As the highest power of the x-variable is 3 with the leading coefficients of 1.

  • So, it is clear that the polynomial function of the least degree has the real coefficients and the leading coefficients of 1.

solving to get the zeros

f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10

0=x^3-6x^2+3x+10              ∵  f(x)=0

as

Factor\:x^3-6x^2+3x+10\::\:\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0

so

\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0    

Using the zero factor principle

if  ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)

x+1=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-2=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-5=0

x=-1,\:x=2,\:x=5

Therefore, the zeros of the function are:

x=-1,\:x=2,\:x=5

f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10 is the function of the least degree has the real coefficients and the leading coefficients of 1 and with the zeros -1, 5, and 2.

Therefore, the last option is true.

Maddie has 4 cups of maple syrup. She uses 1/3 of the syrup to make maple candies. Then, she uses 2/3 of a cup of syrup to make
Reptile [31]

Answer:

3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 2/3 = 1 cup so you would subract 1 from 4 which is 3
