Chapter 11.4, Problem 72E

APPLICATIONS

The Arch of a Bridge The opening of a railway bridge over a roadway is in the shape of a parabola. A surveyor measures the heights of the three points on the bridge, as shown in the figure. He wishes to find an equation of the form

y = a x 2 + b x + c

to model the shape of the arch.

(a) Use the surveyed points to set up a system of linear equations for the unknown coefficients a , b and c .

(b) Solve the system using Cramer’s Rule.

Refer to the figure. Fa In a three-dimensional coordinate system the three mutually perpendicular axes are called the x-axis, the y-axis, and the ?-axis. In the figure, a corresponds to the ?-axis and b corresponds to the ?-axis. The point P in the figure has coordinates (x, y, z) = The equation of the plane passing through P and parallel to the xz-plane is
Linear Equation Applications 5. Troy's truck has a 30 gallon gas tank and gets an average of 21 miles per gallon. a) Write an equation to represent the amount of gas in Troy's truck after driving a certain number of miles (assuming he starts with a full tank). Define your variables. b) If the tank is half full, approximately how many miles has Troy driven since last filling up his tank?
Linear equations: Explain why the equation2x − 3y = 5 represents a line in the xy-plane, but represents a plane in a three dimensional coordinate system.
