The angle of elevation from Nathan to a lighthouse is 74°.
If the lighthouse is 112 feet tall, how far is Nathan from the
base of the lighthouse?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Nathan is 36.3910059 ft from the base of the lighthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the base, you have to find the tan (both legs) of the right triangle that the lighthouse makes. The angle of Nathan to the lighthouse is 74° so to find the distances, you have to do the tan(72) = opp/adj

The opposite is 112, and we have to find the adjacent.

tan(72) = 112/adj

3.07768354 = 112/adj

adj = 112/3.07768354

adj = 36.3910059

Find the value of f(4) for the function

Answers

Answer:

f(4) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The notation for these type of problems is very confusing. Just remember that f(x) is the same thing as y (or some variable). Even if there is a number or something on the inside of the parentheses, it's still just a variable.

In our case

f(a) = 2(a + 4) -9

could be rewritten as

y = 2(a + 4) - 9

the thing on the inside of the parentheses signifies what the equation is dependent on.

so when is says f(4), it just want's you to trade out a for a 4, but the equation is still the same.

f(4) = 2((4) + 4) - 9

Now, just follow the order of operations

f(4) = 2(8) - 9

f(4) = 16 - 9

f(4) = 7

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation. Using this equation, find out what price the widgets should be sold for, to the nearest cent, for the company to make the maximum profit.
y=-15x^2+801x-5900

Answers

Answer:

In order to maximize profit, each widget should sell for $26.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of profit y given by the selling price of each widget x is given by:

[tex]y=-15x^2+801x-5900[/tex]

And we want to determine the price of each widget such that is yields the maximum profit.

Since the equation is a quadratic, the maximum profit will occur at the vertex of our parabola.

The vertex of a quadratic is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle \left(-\frac{b}{2a},f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)[/tex]

So, let's find the vertex. In our equation, a = -15, b = 801, and c = -5900.

Therefore, the price that maximizes profit is:

[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{801}{2(-15)}=\$26.70[/tex]

Therefore, in order to maximize profit, each widget should sell for $26.70.

Notes:

Then substituting this back into the equation, the maximum profit is:

[tex]y_{\text{max}}=-15(26.7)^2+801(26.7)-5900=\$ 4793.35[/tex]

NASA launches a test rocket with an initial velocity of 235 meters per second from an initial height of 15 meters above sea-level. Find a quadratic function that models the height of the rocket, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time t , in seconds after the launch. (HINT: 4.9 meters = 16 feet) Use your model to answer the following questions. Assuming that the rocket will splash down into the ocean, how many seconds after launch does splashdown occur? (round to the nearest tenth of one second) The rocket splashes down after seconds. What is the maximum height above sea-level attained by the rocket? (round to the nearest meter) The maximum height is meters above sea-level.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

48.0 seconds2833 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator shows the points of interest nicely.

  The rocket splashes down after 48.0 seconds.

  The maximum height is 2833 meters above sea level.

__

The equation for the motion is ...

  h(t) = -4.9t^2 +235t +15 . . . . launch at 235 m/s from height of 15 m

The vertex (maximum height) is found at ...

  t = -(235)/(2(-4.9)) = 235/9.8 ≈ 23.980 . . . seconds

Then the maximum height is ...

  h(23.980) = (-4.9(23.980) +235)(23.980) +15 ≈ 2833 . . . meters

The value of t when h(t) = 0 can be found using the quadratic formula.

  t = (-235 -√(235² -4(-4.9)(15)))/(2(-4.9)) = (-235 -√55519)/-9.8

  t ≈ 48.023 ≈ 48.0 . . . seconds

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\sin L = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\tan N = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\cos L = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\sin N = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above triangle

First, we calculate the length LM using Pythagoras theorem.

[tex]LN^2 = LM^2 + MN^2[/tex]

[tex]10^2 = LM^2 + 6^2[/tex]

[tex]100 = LM^2 + 36[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]LM^2 = 100 - 36[/tex]

[tex]LM^2 = 64[/tex]

Take positive square root

[tex]LM=8[/tex]

Solving (a): Sin L

[tex]\sin L = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]\sin L = \frac{MN}{LN}[/tex]

[tex]\sin L = \frac{6}{10}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\sin L = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Solving (b): tan N

[tex]\tan N = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}[/tex]

[tex]\tan N = \frac{LM}{MN}[/tex]

[tex]\tan N = \frac{8}{6}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\tan N = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Solving (c): cos L

This calculated as:

[tex]\cos L = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]\cos L = \frac{LM}{LN}[/tex]

[tex]\cos L = \frac{8}{10}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\cos L = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Solving (d): sin N

This is calculated using:

If [tex]a + b = 90[/tex]

Then: [tex]\sin a = \cos b[/tex]

So:

[tex]\sin N = \cos L[/tex]

[tex]\sin N = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex] where a and b are the two legs (the sides of the triangle that are adjacent to the right angle) and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side). This only applies to right triangles.

Plug 12 mi and 9 mi into [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex] as a and b.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\12^2+9^2=c^2\\144+81=c^2\\225=c^2[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides

[tex]15=c[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 15 miles.
