ace and are 1200 meters apart. The
cables are parabolic in shape and are suspended from the tops of the towers. The cables touch the road surface at the center of the bridge. Find the height of the
cables at a point 300 meters from the center. (Assume that the road is level.)
The height of the cables is meters.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

start by graphing it (see picture)

formula for a parabola: y=ax²

using the coordinates (600,55) we get

55=a*600²

a=55/(600²)

so now it's just a matter of plugging in 300 for x

(55/600²)*300²= 13.75

Solve for x.<br><br> x^3=8/125<br><br> Enter your answer in the box as a fraction in simplest form.
Dahasolnce [82]
First you divide 8 by 125, with a new equation of:
x^3=0.064
You then take the cube root of 0.064, which happens to be 0.4
x=0.4
To make sure you can do 0.4*0.4*0.4.

Evaluate the exponential function.
kakasveta [241]
Hey there!

Our function is:

f(x) = 4^x

If we want to have f(3), we simply can plug in 3 to our answer, and evalutate from there:

f(x) = 4^3 =
4*4*4 =
16*4 =
64

We just calculated 4 to the fourth power, which is four times four times four times four. Therefore, 4 of four is equal to 64.

Hope this helps!
