A cable hangs between two poles of equal height and 28 feet apart. Set up a coordinate system where the poles are placed at x = - 14 and x = 14, where x is measured in feet. The height (in feet) of the cable at position x is h(x) = 8 cosh(2/8), = - - where cosh(x) (ei + e 2)/2 is the hyperbolic cosine, which is an important function in physics and engineering. The cable is feet long.
