A jet, cruising at 26,400 feet, begins its descent into JFK Airport, when it is 96 miles away. Another jet, cruising at 31,680 feet, is 120 miles from JFK when it begins its descent. Which of these two paths of descent is steeper? Is a linear model reasonable to use in this situation? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  first jet is steeper; not unreasonable

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes in feet per mile for the two jets are ...

  (26,400 ft)/(96 mi) = 275 ft/mi

  (31,680 ft)/(120 mi) = 264 ft/mi

The descent of the first jet is steeper.

__

The path a jet will follow depends on a number of factors, including weather and other air traffic. It is not unreasonable for a jet to follow a linear glide path to an airport from these altitudes and distances. JFK is sufficiently busy that air traffic control may dictate other-than-linear descent paths.

Final approach is typically done on a 3° glide slope, about 277 ft descent per mile.

_____

Additional comment

Studies have been done to test the feasibility of linear descent paths into some of the busiest airports in the world. The conclusion is that fuel burn could be improved and air traffic management made simpler by such flight paths. However, current jet autopilots are not equipped for direct input of such flight routes. Pilot workload would be slightly increased until software could be updated. There appears to be no current plan to change the way terminal area control is done.

A. log6 = log2 x log3 = 0.3010 x 0.4771
B. log6 = log2 + log3 = 0.3010 + 0.4771
C. log6 = log2 – log3 = 0.3010 – 0.4771
D. log6 = log2 = log3 = 0.3010 = 0.4771

Answers

Answer:

B. log6 = log2 + log3 = 0.3010 + 0.4771

Step-by-step explanation:

log 2 = 0.3010

log 3 = 0.4771

log 6 = ?

6 = 3 * 2

log 6 = log (3 * 2)

According to log rules;

log (a * b) = log(a) + log (b)

This means;

log 6 = log 3 + log 2

Inserting the values they represent;

log 6 =  log 3 + log 2 =  0.4771  + 0.3010

Correct option:

B. log6 = log2 + log3 = 0.3010 + 0.4771

BA = 8, BA = 30
BA = 8, AC = 16
BA = 8, AC = 8√2
BA = 8, AC = 8√3

Answers

Ba = 8,ac = 16 is the correct one

Answer:

D. BA = 8, AC = 8√3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, because this is a right triangle, refer to the trigonometric ratios:

tangent = opposite side/adjacent side

sine = opposite side/hypotenuse

cosine = adjacent side/hypotenuse

BA is the opposite side to the angle measure given, ∠C—which is 30°—and we have the measure of BC. BC is the hypotenuse, as it is across from the right angle of the right triangle. So we can use sine:

sine = opposite side/hypotenuse

sin(30) = BA/16

sin(30) / 1 = BA / 16

Cross multiply:

BA = sin(30) (16)

BA = 8

AC is the adjacent side to the angle measure given, ∠C—which is 30°—and we have the measure of BC. BC is the hypotenuse, as it is across from the right angle of the right triangle. So we can use cosine:

cosine = adjacent side/hypotenuse

cos(30) = AC/16

cos(30) / 1 = AC / 16

Cross multiply:

AC = cos(30) (16)

AC = 8√3

You can check by using the Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c²

8² + (8√3)² = 16²

64 + 192 = 256

256 = 256

Step-by-step explanation:

6(3+8)= 6×3+6×8=18+48

this is the given value of A

The correct expressions for total area = 6x3 + 6x8 or 6(3+8)

What is rectangle?

Rectangles are four-sided polygons with all internal angles equal to 90 degrees. At each corner or vertex, two sides meet at right angles. The rectangle differs from a square in that its opposite sides are equal in length.

In the given figure,

Area of one room = 18 square feet

Area of second room = 48 square feet

Now since we can see that,

the width of both rooms is same,

therefore,

we have 6 as common factor of 18 and 48

As, 18 = 6x3

      48 = 6x8

Total are of the given figure = 18 + 48

Since we know that,

Area of rectangle = length x width

Therefore,

area of both rooms  = 18 + 48

                                 = 6x3 + 6x8

                                 = 6(3+8)

Hence,

The rooms total area of both rooms = 6x3 + 6x8 or 6(3+8)

Daniel is baking a cake for Aaron's birthday. The recipe requires 2 1/2 cups of butter, 1/3 cups of brown sugar, and 1/2 cups of baking powder. What is the total amount of ingredients in cups if Daniel makes the cake twice as large as the recipe calls for?

Answers

Answer

4 6/12 or 2 3/4 cups of total ingredients

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 1/2 cups of butter, 1/3 cups of brown sugar, and 1/2 cups of baking powder.

You'd want to make the denominators the same numbers so it would be easier to divide.

So I multiplied 2 1/2 times 3, 1/3 times 2, and 1/2 times 3.

Then all the numbers would have a denominator of 6. Don't multiply the whole numbers or the numerators. Just the denominator.

''THE NUMBERS'' would change to 2 1/6, 1/6, and 1/6.

If I were to add that it would be 2 3/6.

BUT, You need to multiply by 2 after because it says in the question "How many ingredients in cups will Daniel make the cake twice as large".

What is 2 3/6 times 2 =  4 6/12 total.

If it says to simplify the answer. It would be "'2 3/4 total'' or both answers are correct

Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial 4x²-4x+1 and verify the relation between its zeroes and coefficients

Answers

Answer:

A) zeros are x = ½ or x = ½

B) >> sum of zeros = (-Coefficient of x)/(Coefficient of x²)

>> Product of the zeros = Constant term/Coefficient of x²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros, we will equate the polynomial to zero.

Thus;

4x² - 4x + 1 = 0

Using quadratic equation, we can find the zeros.

x = [-(-4) ± √((-4)² - (4 × 4 × 1))]/(2 × 4)

x = (4 ± 0)/8

x = 4/8 and x = 4/8

Thus, zeros are x = ½ or x = ½

Now, to find the relationships between its zeroes and coefficients;

Sum of zeroes = ½ + ½ = 1

This is equal to -b/a = -(-4)/4 = 1.

Thus;

sum of zeros = (-Coefficient of x)/(Coefficient of x²)

Product of zeros = ½ × ½ = ¼

c/a = 1/4

This is equal to the product of the zeros.

Thus;

Product of the zeros = Constant term/Coefficient of x²

The factor of the polynomial expression 28x - 8 will be 4 and (7x - 2).

What is factorization?

It is a technique for separating a polynomial into sorts that will be duplicated out. As of now, the polynomial's worth will be zero.

Polynomial math is the investigation of conceptual images, while rationale is the control of that multitude of thoughts.

The acronym PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. This approach is used to answer the problem correctly and completely.

The expression is given below.

⇒ 28x - 8

Factorize the expression, then we have

⇒ 28x - 8

⇒ 4·7x - 4·2

⇒ 4(7x - 2)

The element of the polynomial articulation 28x - 8 will be 4 and (7x - 2).
