Question: Determine the slope ( theta A ) at point A and the deflection ( Delta C ) at point C in terms of

Determine the slope (\theta A) at point A and the deflection (\Delta C) at point C in terms of EI. Assume the support at A is a pin and B is a roller. EI is constant. Use whatever method you wish.Hints if you plan to use Moment-Area Method.
Theorem 1: The angle between the tangents at any two points on the
elastic curve equals the area under the M/EI diagram between these
two points.
Theorem 2: The vertical distance between the tangent at a point (A) on
the elastic curve and the tangent extended from another point (B) equals
the moment of the area under the M/EI diagram between these two points
and B. This moment is calculated about the point (A) where the
vertical distance (tAB) is to be determined.
Determine the slope ( \ theta A ) at point A and
