Another Gateway Arch Another description of the Gateway Arch is $$y=1260-315\left(e^{0.00418 x}+e^{-0.00418 x}\right)$$ where the base of the arch is [-315,315] and $x$ and $y$ are measured in feet. Find the average height of the arch above the ground.
Integration
Working with Integrals
Gateway Arch The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is $630 \mathrm{ft}$ high and has a 630 -ft base. Its shape can be modeled by the parabola $$ y=630\left[1-\left(\frac{x}{315}\right)^{2}\right] $$ Find the average height of the arch above the ground.
Gateway Arch The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is $630 \mathrm{ft}$ high and has a $630-$ ft base. Its shape can be modeled by the parabola $$y=630\left[1-\left(\frac{x}{315}\right)^{2}\right]$$ Find the average height of the arch above the ground. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY)
