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.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
