Conic Sections and Sequences, Series, and Combinatorics
One of the civil engineers you interviewed for your article works for a
company which specializes in bridge construction projects. In the
process of designing suspension bridges, they must account for many
variables in the modeling. Some of these variables include the bridge
span; the force of the typical water currents wearing upon the
structure; ice flows striking the structure; the forces the current
creates caused by river traffic flowing beneath the bridge; height of
the bridge and the wind force. The bridge also has to be designed to
withstand the constant flow of traffic on the bridge and to bear its
weight. Graphing parabolas and hyperbolas can be used to illustrate some
of these design issues.
How does the graph of a parabola differ from the graph of one branch of
a hyperbola? Identify some real world applications of parabolas and
hyperbolas (other than civil engineering).
Search the Cybrary or other internet sources to find and discuss at
least two practice uses of probability today. Be sure to cite your
sources.
It is extremely important for you to show your work. This helps me
immensely, as I am much better working backwards when it comes to math
problems and solutions.
