The Shape Of The Gateway Arch In St. Louis,Missouri Resembles A Parabola With Theequation H - 0.00635x^2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

630 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabola shaped arc is given as:

[tex]h =-0.00635x^2 +4.0005x -0.07875[/tex]

In a parabola, the line of symmetry divides the parabola into two equal parts.

Therefore, to find the distance from one base of the parabola to the other, we simply multiply the x-value at the line of symmetry by 2.

For a quadratic equation of the form [tex]y=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]:

Equation of symmetry: [tex]x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}[/tex]

Therefore, distance from one base of the arc  to the other

[tex]=-\dfrac{b}{2a} X 2\\\\=-\dfrac{b}{a}[/tex]

In our given equation:

[tex]a=-0.00635, b=4.0005\\$Therefore:Distance = $ -\dfrac{4.0005}{-0.00635}\\=630$ ft[/tex]

The distance from one base of the arc  to the other is 630 ft.

Mr. Wilson wants to build a square roof for his square deck in the back yard.
The roof will be 12 feet long on each side. He uses the formula (A = s) to
find the area of the roof. What will be the area of the square roof on Mr.
Wilson's deck? (give only the number value of your answer) *​

Answers

Answer:

The area of the square roof is 144 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

He wants to build a square roof.The roof will be 12 feet long.

We know that the area of a square is

[tex]A=s^{2}[/tex]

Where [tex]s=12 \ ft[/tex], according to the problem.

Replacing this value, we have

[tex]A=(12 \ ft)^{2} =144 \ ft^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the square roof is 144 square feet.

Answer: the area of the roof is 144 feet squared for each side (up and down), adding to a total of 288 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the roof is a square with a side lenght L =  12 feet, then we use the fact that the area of a square is equal to the square of the side lenght of the square, this is:

A = L^2  = (12 ft)^2 = 144 ft^2

Now, Mr. wilson uses the equation A = s, this is because the roof has 2 surfaces, one up and one bottom, then the total area is 2 times the value that we find earlier:

2*144 ft^2 = 288 ft^2

After each charging, a battery is able to hold only 96% of the charge from the previous charging. The battery was used for 10 hours on its first charge before it had to be recharged. What is the total number of hours the battery can be used over its lifetime?

Answers

Answer:

250 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The first charge is 10 hours, the second charge is 10(0.96) hours, and so on -- the total of these two is 10+10(0.96)  and we need to keep adding our battery usage up until there is no more battery. The third one is 10(0.96)*(0.96), or 10(0.96)².

This can be seen as a geometric series, with 10 as the first tern, or a, and 0.96 as the common ratio, or r. The sum of this is

[tex]a\frac{1-r^{n}}{1-r}[/tex], with n being the number of terms. Since 0.96 to the power of n never actually reaches 0 no matter how high n goes if the number is not infinite, we can say n is infinity. As r^n is really close to 0 when n equals infinity (so close that, for our purposes in this equation, we can just assume it's 0), our equation is then

[tex]10\frac{1}{0.04} =10*25=250[/tex]

Find an equation equivalent to r = 10 sinθ in rectangular coordinates

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^{2} + y^{2} - 10\cdot y = 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The following expressions are used to transform from polar into rectangular form:

[tex]r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta = \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}[/tex]

Now, the variables are substituted and equation is finally simplified:

[tex]\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} = 10\cdot \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} }[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}+y^{2} = 10\cdot y[/tex]

Farmer Grainger's square plot yields 350
bushels of grain. To Increase the yield,
Grainger invests in a circular sprinkler pivot to
irrigate a square plot of land. When he places
the sprinkler at the center of the field and
stretches the arm to half the field's length, he
estimates that the sprinkler will triple the yield
over the irrigated circular area, even though
some land will not be irrigated.​

Answers

Answer:

a)  The yield for the circular area is the triple of the original yield so it is 1,050 bushels.

Average yield for the square plot= 899 bushels.

b) The ratio of irrigated area to the total area of the square plot is the same if we put the sprinkler in the center (with half side as the ratio) or in the corner (with ratio of the side of the square).

Step-by-step explanation:

The arm of the sprinkler goes half the length of the square plot, so the area irrigated is the circumscribed circle. See the picture attached (irrigated area).

The yield will triple in the irrigated area and the same as before in the non-irrigated area. The irrigated area is the area of the circle with radius equal to half the side of the square.

[tex]Y_c=3Y_0=3\cdot350=1,050[/tex]

The non-irrigated area is the area of the square less the area of the circle.

We can calculate the yield as:

[tex]Y=\dfrac{(3Y_o)\cdot A_c}{A_s}+\dfrac{Y_0(A_s-A_c)}{A_s}[/tex]

where Y0: original yield (350 bushels), Ac: area of the circle, and As: area of the square.

The ratio between the area of the circle and the area of the square is:

[tex]\dfrac{A_c}{A_s}=\dfrac{\pi r^2}{l^2}\\\\\\r=l/2\\\\\\\dfrac{A_c}{A_s}=\dfrac{\pi (l/2)^2}{l^2}=\dfrac{\pi l^2}{4l^2}=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\approx0.78[/tex]

We can now solve for the yield:

[tex]Y=\dfrac{(3Y_o)\cdot A_c}{A_s}+\dfrac{Y_0(A_s-A_c)}{A_s}\\\\\\Y=3Y_0\dfrac{\pi}{4}+Y_0(1-\dfrac{\pi}{4})=Y_0\left(\dfrac{3\pi}{4}+1-\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)=Y_0\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}+1\right)\\\\\\Y\approx2.57Y_0=2.57\cdot350=899.5[/tex]

b) If the arm is located in one corner of the square and the arm has a length of the side of the square, we have an irrigated area that is a quarter of a circle with radius l.

We can calculate the proportion of irrigated area in the square plot, and if it is bigger than the proportion of irrigated area when we have the sprinkler in the center (proportion of 0.78 of irrigated area), then it is better to put the sprinkler in the corner.

The ratio of the irrigated area to the total area is:

[tex]\dfrac{Aq}{A_s}=\dfrac{\pi r^2/4}{l^2}\\\\\\r=l\\\\\dfrac{Aq}{A_s}=\dfrac{\pi l^2/4}{l^2}=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\approx 0.78[/tex]

The ratio of irrigated area to the total area of the square plot is the same if we put the sprinkler in the center (with half side as the ratio) or in the corner (with ratio of the side of the square).

Jean lives about 10 miles from the college where she plans to attend a 10-week summer class. There are two main routes she can take to the school, one through the city and one through the countryside. The city route is shorter in miles, but has more stoplights. The country route is longer in miles, but has only a few stop signs and stoplights. Jean sets up a randomized experiment where each day she tosses a coin to decide which route to take that day. She records the following data for 5 days of travel on each route.
Country Route - 17, 15, 17, 16, 18
City Route - 18, 13, 20, 10, 16
It is important to Jean to arrive on time for her classes, but she does not want to arrive too early because that would increase her parking fees.

Answer:

We would advise her to choose Country Route because in this route time consistent between 15 and 18 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jean lives about 10 miles from the college where she plans to attend a 10-week summer class. There are two main routes she can take to the school, one through the city and one through the countryside.

Jean sets up a randomized experiment where each day she tosses a coin to decide which route to take that day. She records the following data for 5 days of travel on each route.

Country Route - 17, 15, 17, 16, 18  (in minutes)

City Route - 18, 13, 20, 10, 16 (in minutes)

Now, we have to decide which route is better for Jean to go to college.

As we can see from the data that the Country route timings is consistent between 15 to 18 minutes which means most of the times she will reach college between these minutes only.

While on the other hand, we can observe that City route timings are very much consistent as it has a low value of 10 minutes and high value of 20 minutes which means Jean can't be sure that at which time she will reach college.

Hence, we would advise her to choose Country route.
