A helicopter was hovering over a shelter and was 800 ft above the ground. A medic was on the ground and was looking up at an angle of 65° to the helicopter. The medic’s eyes were 5.5 feet off the ground when looking at this angle of elevation. How far was the medic from the shelter?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the slope concept, it is found that the medic was 370.5 ft from the shelter.

What is a slope?

The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem:

The vertical change is of 800 - 5.5 = 794.5 ft.The horizontal chnge is the distance d.The angle is of 65º.

Hence:

[tex]\tan{65^\circ} = \frac{794.5]{d}[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{794.5}{\tan{65^\circ}}[/tex]

[tex]d = 370.5[/tex]

The medic was 370.5 ft from the shelter.

Graph a parabola whose vertex is at (3,5)(3,5)left parenthesis, 3, comma, 5, right parenthesis with yyy-intercept at y=1y=1y, equals, 1.

Answers

Using the given information we found that the equation of the parabola is:

y = (-4/9)*(x - 3)^2 + 5

And its graph is below.

How to get the equation of the parabola?

For a parabola with vertex (h, k), the equation is:

y = a*(x - h)^2 + k

Here the vertex is (3, 5), so the equation is:

y = a*(x - 3)^2 + 5

And the y-intercept is y = 1, this means that:

1 = a*(0 - 3)^2 + 5

1 = a*9 + 5

1 - 5 = a*9

-4/9 = a

So the parabola is:

y = (-4/9)*(x - 3)^2 + 5

And its graph is below.

The graph shows the relationship between the United States dollar and the euro, the currency of the European Union, in December 2011. Part B: Justify why the relationship shown in the graph is a proportional relationship.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line representing relation between the euros and dollars is,

E = mD + b

Where 'E' = Number of euros

D = Number of dollars

m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Slope of a line which passes through two points (120, 90) and (400, 300) will be,

m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{300-90}{400-120}[/tex]

m = 0.75

Equation of the line passing through (120, 90),

90 = 0.75(120) + b

b = 90 - 90 = 0

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

E = mD

E ∝ D

Here m = Proportionality constant

And the relation between the numbers of Euros and US dollars is a proportional relationship.

You recently borrowed $500 from a friend. You signed a contract that requires you to pay back one third of the loan every month for three months. How much will you have to pay back each of the first two months? How much will you have to pay back the third month?

Answers

The amount of money I would repay in the first month is $166.67.

The amount of money I would repay in the second month is $166.67.

The amount of money I would repay in the third month is $166.66.

How much would I repay each month?

In order to determine the money that would be repaid each of the first two months, multiply 1/3 by the amount of the loan.

1/3 x $500 = $166.67

Amount to be repaid in the third month = $500 - (166.67 x 2) = $166.66

  -161.57°, or 198.43°

Step-by-step explanation:

The third-quadrant angle can be found using the usual rectangular-to-polar conversion. The angle is given by ...

  θ = ATAN2(x, y) = ATAN2(-12, -4) ≈ -161.57°

__

More conventionally, the reference angle is ...

  tan(θ) = y/x = -4/-12 = 1/3

  θ = arctan(1/3) ≈ 18.43° . . . . angle from -x axis (CCW)

Since this is a 3rd-quadrant angle, the positive angle value will be 180° plus the reference angle:

  180° +18.43° = 198.43°

The angle most directly measured from the +x axis is ...

  360° -198.43° = -161.57°

h = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is just substituting in for variables and solving for x. The hard part is knowing the formula.

R = h((a+b)/2) where a and b are the 2 different bases, h is the height or latitude, and R is the area of a trapezoid, is the formula.

Given that R = 8.1, a = 1 and b = 3.5, we can substitute these equations in the formula.

(8.1) = h(((1) + (3.5)) / 2)

= h((4.5) / 2)

= h(2.25)

8.1/2.25 = h
