Applications of Parabola - Suspension Bridge
If the road the roadway of a suspension bridge is loaded uniformly par horizontal meter, the suspension cable hangs in the form of arc which closely approximate to parabolic arcs. Therefore, parabolic arcs are used in suspension cable bridge construction.
Parabola: A parabola is the graph that results from $px(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$. Parabola are symmetric about a vertical line known as the Axis of symmetry.
- Find the number of polynomial having zeroes as 1 and -2.
- Graph of quadratic polynomial is a:
- If the susnension cable of a bridge hangs in the form of arcs is represented by $4x^2- 20x + 9,$ then its zerores are:
Or
The number of zeroes that polynomial $p(x) = x^3 - 4x$ can have is:
