An airplane pilot over the Pacific sights a ship wreck at an angle of depression of 5°. At this time, the horizontal distance from the airplane to the wreck is 4629 meters. What is the height of the plane to the nearest meter?
405 m
Answers
Answer:
The height of the plane is 405 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Trigonometric Ratios
The situation can be represented as shown in the image below. The ground, the height H, and the direct distance to the plane to the shipwreck form a right triangle, where the trigonometric ratios stand.
Since the known distance is adjacent to the angle, and the required height is opposite to the given angle, we use the tangent ratio, defined as:
[tex]\displaystyle \tan\ x=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \tan 5^\circ=\frac{H}{4629}[/tex]
We need to find H, so we solve for H:
[tex]H=4629\cdot\tan5^\circ[/tex]
H=405 m
The height of the plane is 405 meters

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{a_n}{b_n} = 6[/tex]
Based on the limit comparison test, the series is convergent
========================================================
Explanation:
As n gets really large, the terms [tex]3^n[/tex] and [tex]3^n-2[/tex] are effectively the same. Taking the limit to infinity of the ratio leads to 1.
In other words,
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{3^n}{3^n-2} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{3^n}{3^n} = 1[/tex]
That -2 doesn't really play a role when n gets very large.
This result is then multiplied by the 6 in the [tex]a_n[/tex] sequence, getting 6 as the final limit we want.
So,
[tex]L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(a_n \div b_n\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6}{3^n-2} \div \frac{1}{3^n}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6}{3^n-2} \times \frac{3^n}{1}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6*3^n}{3^n-2}\right)\\\\\\[/tex]
[tex]L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{3^n}{3^n-2}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{3^n}{3^n}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} (1)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*1\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6\\\\\\[/tex]
Since the limiting value is positive and not infinity, this means that both series [tex]\sum a_n[/tex] and [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] converge or they both diverge.
----------------------------
If we plug n = 2 into the [tex]b_n[/tex] sequence, we get
[tex]b_n = \frac{1}{3^n}\\\\b_2 = \frac{1}{3^2}\\\\b_2 = \frac{1}{9}[/tex]
The first term is a = 1/9
If we plugged n = 3, we would get [tex]b_3 = \frac{1}{27}[/tex]
This shows that the common ratio is r = 1/3
Because -1 < r < 1 is true, we know that the infinite geometric series converges. Therefore, [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] converges. We don't need to find the converging value.
Going back to the limit comparison test, we stated that both [tex]\sum a_n[/tex] and [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] either diverge together or converge together.
We've shown that the b series converges, so the 'a' series must converge as well.

Mr. Clopu buys an 18-month CD that pays 434% simple interest for $5,000. Find the value of the CD at the end of its term.
Answers
Answer:
FV= $5,325.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mr. Clopu buys an 18-month CD that pays 4.34% simple interest for $5,000.
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= (P*r*t) + P
P= $5,000
r= 0.0434/12= 0.00362
t= 18
FV= [(5,000*0.00362)*18] + 5,000
FV= $5,325.8
The value of the CD at the end of its term is $39,060
Given:
Time = 18 month
Principal = $5000
Interest rate = 434%
Future value = ?
Future value = Principal × Rate × Time
= 5,000 × 434% × 18
= 5000 × 434/100 × 18
= 5000 × 4.34 × 18
= 39,060
Therefore, the value of the CD at the end of its term is $39,060

Ethan bought 4 packages of pencils. After he gave 8 pencils to his friends, he had 40 pencils
left over. How many pencils were in each package? Use the drop-down menus to solve the
problem arithmetically and algebraically.
Answers
He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.

the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
n: number of cans that each student must bring.
We know that:
The teacher will bring 5 cans
There are 20 students in the class
At least 105 cans must be brought, but no more than 205 cans
Therefore the inequation of the problem is given by:
105 < 20n + 5 <205
Answer:
the possible numbers n of cans that each student should bring in is: 105 < 20n + 5 < 205

The bowling lanes charge an hourly fee for bowling and $2 to rent shoes for the day. Gerry rented shoes and bowled for 2 hours and was charged $12
Which equation represents the cost, f(x), of bowling as a function of x, the number of hours of bowling?
O f(x) = 4x + 3
Of(x) = 2x + 2
Of(x) = 5x - 2
Of(x) = 5x + 2
Answers
Answer:
d) f(x) = 5x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to identify the variables and how they fit into the equation. in this case we know that the equation is f(x) = mx + b where f(x) is the total cost, m is the hourly cost, x is the number of hours bowled, and b is the price of the shoes.
Now, we need to solve for the hourly cost, so to do this we plug in all the known information to get 12 = m(2) + 2
To solve we need to isolate the variable by first subtracting 2 on both sides to get 10 = m(2) and then dividing both sides by 2 to get 5 = m.
Finally, since we now know that the hourly cost is $5 we can plug this information back into the equation to get f(x) = 5x + 2
What is the solution to this equation?

A large bus will carry twice as many passengers than the normal bus
A small bus will carry 8 passengers less than the normal bus.
Altogether the buses carry 128 passengers.
(a) Form a simplified equation in terms of x
Answers
Answer: A) 4x -8 = 128
Step-by-step explanation:
We will represent the amount that the normal bus carries by n= x
We will represent the amount that the large bus carries by l = 2x
We will also represent the amount that the small bus carries by s = x-8
Now add them to equal to 128.
x + 2x + x -8 = 128

Answers
Answer:-1.2 Degree Fahrenheit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since,
The average daily changes, total changes/number of days
Here,
The total changes = - 16.8° F ( - sign shows the decreasing )
And, the number of days = 14
Hence,
⇒ The average daily rate of change in the high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is -1.2° F.
-16.8 / 14 = - 1.2 per day

first Determine the value of F'(x)
F'(x) = [tex]\frac{d(-5x^2)}{dy}[/tex]
F'(x) = -10x
next we Determine the value of F"(x)
F"(x) = [tex]\frac{d(-10x)}{dy}[/tex]
