    Hyperbolic Tower
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving the hyperbolic tower equation f(x)=E/(X+F)+G, with specific parameters including height and ground contact points. The height of the tower is set at 23 meters, and it touches the ground 11.5 meters on either side of the axis, passing through the point (4,3). Participants outline the need to derive three equations based on these parameters to solve for F, G, and E, ultimately leading to the values F=1, G=2, and E=25K. However, there is a strong emphasis on academic integrity, with moderators warning against sharing graded assignment details without proper permission. The discussion highlights the importance of clarifying whether the project is graded before seeking further assistance.

The equation of the tower structure is a hyperbola of f(x)=E/(X+F)+G
hight=23, and meets ground 11.5m on either side of axis , curve also passes through (4,3)
This helps to form 3 equations...
Use height to find first equation.
Use the points where the tower touches the ground on the right hand side to find the second
Use pts (4,3) to find third
Use i and ii to find G in terms of F only ?
Show that F=1, G=2, and E=25K

This is part of the project problem you posted earlier, which strikes me as a graded assignment, and as such, until we clear up this matter as I stated in the other topic we simply cannot help. We place a very high priority on academic honesty.

Please, before posting any more of this project, contact me or another senior staff member (MHB Global Moderator or MHB Administrator) by private message so we can determine from you and your instructor whether this is a graded assignment or that your instructor has given you permission to get outside help.

If you do post more of it, unfortunately I will be forced to ban your account temporarily.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
