Question:

One side of the Eiffel Tower in Paris has a shape that can be approximated by the graph of the functionf(x) = -301 In- x>0, %3D 207'


y f(x) = -301 In *>0 207’ 100+ 100


where x and ƒ(x) are both measured in feet.

(a) Why does the shape of the left side of the graph of the Eiffel Tower have the formula given by ƒ(-x)?

(b) The short horizontal segment at the top of the figure has length 7.8744 ft. How tall, to the nearest foot, is the Eiffel Tower?

(c) How far from the center of the tower is the point on the right side that is 500 ft above the ground? Round to the nearest foot.
