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.

The pattern 2, 5, 17, ________, ________ follows the rule multiply by 4, then subtract 3. What are the next two terms?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

None of the answer choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pattern to this problem is multiply by 4, and subtract 3. However when doing 17 * 4, you get 68. Look how both of the answer chouces start with 68, and we haven't even subtracted 3 yet. This shows that the answer choices are wrong.

<u>Correct Answer: 65, 257</u>

A certain television is advertised as a 59-inch TV (the diagonal length). If the width of
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

32.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base = 49

c =  hypotenuse = diagonal = 59

l² + 49² = 59²

l² = 59² - 49²

3481 - 2401 = 1080

find the square root

Real coefients
if a+bi is a root then a-bi is also a root
since 3-i is a root then 3+i s also a root

also the √7, so if √7 is a root then -√7 is also a root
so

f roots are r1 and r2 then the factored form is
f(x)=(x-r1)(x-r2)

roots are 3-i, 3+i and √7 and -√7

f(x)=(x-(3-i))(x-(3+i))(x-√7)(x-(-√7))
expanded
f(x)=x⁴-6x³+3x²+42x-70
