Answer:

(a)80 feet

(b)$120,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem

If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.

In the attached diagram, the theorem applied is:

$|AX|^2=|UX|*|TX|$

Comparing with our diagram:

|AX|=30 feet

|UX|=10 feet

Length of the Bridge,L

Therefore:

$30^2=10 X ($Length of the Bridge+10)$

900=10(L+10)

L+10=900/10

L+10=90

L=90-10=80 feet

Length of the Bridge=80 feet

Part B

If each foot costs $1500

Cost of the bridge=$1500*80=$120,000

Answer:

the answer is 5.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

first you divide 37 by 39 to get .94871795

next you would subtract 1 by that number and you get

.05128205 which can be rounded to .051 or 5.1%

Answer:

Equation of movement y(t)

$y(t)=sin(10t-\pi/2)$

Amplitude: 1 inch

Period: 0.628 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is no friction, the amplitude will be the length it was streched from the equilibrium. In this case, this value is 1 inch

$A=1\,inch$

The period depends on the mass and the spring constant.

The formula for the period is:

$T=\frac{1}{f} =\frac{2/pi}{\omega} =2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{1}{100}}=2\pi*0.1=0.628\, s$

The model y(t) for the movement of the mass-spring system is

$y(t)=A\cdot sin(\omega t +\phi)\\\\A=1\\\\\omega=\sqrt{k/m} =\sqrt{100/1}=10\\\\y(0)=Asin(\phi)=-A\\\\ \phi=arcsin(-1)=-1.571=-\pi/2\\\\\\y(t)=sin(10t-\pi/2)$
