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
to model the shape of the arch.
(a) Use the surveyed points to set up a system of linear equations for the unknown coefficients
(b) Solve the system using Cramer’s Rule.

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.
