This document provides a comprehensive solution to a calculus homework assignment focused on catenary equations. The solution includes practical experiments, numerical analysis of hyperbolic functions like cosh and sinh, and investigation of the catenary equation's behavior with varying parameters. The assignment explores the effects of changing values of 'c' and 'a' in the catenary equation, demonstrating the impact on the curve's shape through multiple graphs. The solution also delves into the relationship between the catenary curve's sag, length, and angle, using trigonometric and calculus principles to derive and explain these relationships. Furthermore, it includes calculations for arc length and application of the catenary equation to real-world scenarios, such as the scaling of a catenary for a specific condition, providing a complete analysis of catenary curves and their properties.
