Two observers simultaneously see an airplane overhead and between them. They measure
their angle of elevation to the airplane and obtain 48° and 73º. The airplane is 1.7 miles
directly above the point shown in the figure below. How far are the two observers from each
other? Round your answer to the nearest hundreth of a mile.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.05 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see a figure, so I am guessing that the plane is 1.7 miles above the ground.

Let x = distance of observer 1 from that point

     y =  distance of observer 2 from that point

Tan 48 = 1.7/x           and    tan 73 = 1.7/y

x tan 48 = 1.7                       y tan 73 = 1.7

x = 1.7/tan 48                         y = 1.7/tan 73

x + y = distance between the observers

x + y = 1.7/tan 48 + 1.7/tan 73

       = 2.05 mi

Answer:

x= -7 and x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+7)(x+3)=0 (Think about the numbers that will add to 10 and multiply to 21)

x= -7 and x= -3

Answer:

x = −3 or x = −7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x^2 +  10x + 21 = 0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(x+3) (x+7) = 0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

x + 3 = 0 or x + 7 = 0

x = −3 or x = −7

Three cell phones towers can be modeled by the points X(6,0), Y(8,4), and Z(3,9). Determine the location of another cell phone tower equidistant from the other three, and write an equation for the circle.

Answers

Answer:

The location of the new cell phone tower is [tex](h,k) = (3,4)[/tex], and the equation of the circle is [tex]x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the cell phone tower coincides with the location of a circunference passing through the three cell phone towers. By Analytical Geometry, the equation of the circle is represented by the following general formula:

[tex]x^{2} + y^{2}+A\cdot x + B\cdot y +C = 0[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]x[/tex] - Independent variable.

[tex]y[/tex] - Dependent variable.

[tex]A[/tex], [tex]B[/tex], [tex]C[/tex] - Circunference constants.

Given the number of variable, we need the location of three distinct points:

[tex](x_{1},y_{1}) = (6,0)[/tex]

[tex]36 +6\cdot A + C = 0[/tex]

[tex](x_{2},y_{2}) = (8,4)[/tex]

[tex]80 + 8\cdot A + 4\cdot B + C = 0[/tex]

[tex](x_{3},y_{3}) = (3,9)[/tex]

[tex]90 + 3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = 0[/tex]

Then, we have the following system of linear equations:

[tex]6\cdot A + C = -36[/tex] (2)

[tex]8\cdot A +4\cdot B + C = -80[/tex] (3)

[tex]3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = -90[/tex] (4)

The solution of this system is:

[tex]A = -6[/tex], [tex]B = -8[/tex], [tex]C = 0[/tex]

By comparing the general form with the standard form of the equation of the circunference is:

[tex]A = -2\cdot h[/tex] (5)

[tex]B = -2\cdot k[/tex] (6)

[tex]C = h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2}[/tex] (7)

Where:

[tex]h[/tex], [tex]k[/tex] - Coordinates of the center of the circle.

[tex]r[/tex] - Radius of the circle.

If we know that [tex]A = -6[/tex], [tex]B = -8[/tex] and [tex]C = 0[/tex], then coordinates of the center of the circle and its radius are, respectively:

[tex]h = -\frac{A}{2}[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{B}{2}[/tex]

[tex]r = \sqrt{h^{2}+k^{2}-C}[/tex]

[tex]h = 3[/tex], [tex]k = 4[/tex], [tex]r = 5[/tex]

The location of the new cell phone tower is [tex](h,k) = (3,4)[/tex], and the equation of the circle is [tex]x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0[/tex].

Simplify the expression.

A rectangle has an area represented by x^2 - 4x - 12 square feet. If the length is x + 2 feet, what is the width of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer: Since x2=6, the width of the rectangle is x-6.

Explanation: factor x^2-4x-12.

given that length=x+2 and area of rectangle = length * width

all you have to do is find the width

there are several way to do this, here is one:

Since one factor of x^2-4x-12 is x+2, x1=-2 is a solution to x62-4x-12=0 so in order to find the other solution, you can use the sum and product properties.

x1*x2= -12 with x1=-2, so x2=6.

Since x2=6, the width of the rectangle is x-6.

DO,-2(x, y)(3, 5). The point (x, y) is (1, 3) (-3/2, -5/2) (-6, -10)

Answers

Answer: -6, -10.

The question is asking you to make the coordinates negative and then multiply the negative numbers by 2, thus, -6, -10.

The coordinate of (x, y) is (-3/2, -5/2) if the -2(x, y) → (3, 5) option second is correct.

What is an ordered double?

It is defined as a representation of coordinates in a two-dimensional coordinate plane. It has a list of two elements in it, such as (x, y).

We have:

-2(x, y)  →  (3, 5)

The coordinate (x, y) changes after multiplication by factor 2

New coordinate = (3, 5)

-2x = 3

x = -3/2

-2y = 5

y = -5/2

Thus, the coordinate of (x, y) is (-3/2, -5/2) if the -2(x, y) → (3, 5) option second is correct.

  n = 99

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of logarithms is the log of a product. Here, the sum of terms is ...

  log(2/1) +log(3/2) +log(4/3) + ... +log((n+1)/n)

  = log((2/1)(3/2)(4/3)×...×((n+1)/n)) = log(n+1)

So, the question reduces to ...

  log(n+1) = 2

Taking antilogs, we have ...

  n +1 = 10^2 = 100

  n = 99

The value of n that makes the sum 2 is 99.

find an ordered pair of 5x + y = 3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find an ordered pair that satisfies the equation 5x + y = 3.  

There are infinitely many ordered pairs that satisfy this equation.

If we were to choose y = 0, then 5x = 3, and x = 3/5, leading to the ordered pair (3/5, 0).

If we were to choose x = 1, then 5(1) + y = 3, or y = -2.  The ordered pair would be (1, -2).

10. A freight train leaves a station and travels at a rate of 30 miles per hour. Two hours later, an express train leaves
the same station traveling in the same direction at a rate of 50 miles per hour. In how many hours will the express train
overtake the freight train?

Answers

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can already assume that the freight train is 60 miles ahead of the express. If the freight is going at a constant of 30 mph and the express goes 50 mph then we can say that when the freight train has been gone for 6 and the express for 4 the express will have passed the freight. The reason as to why would be that 60 + 120 = 180 or 60 + (30 x 4) = 180 and 50 x 4 = 200 .
