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.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]f(x)=4x-2[/tex]

To find:  average rate of change of the function [tex]f(x)=4x-2[/tex] over the interval [tex]x=-1[/tex] and [tex]x=2[/tex]

Solution:

Take [tex]a=-1,\,b=2[/tex]

Find [tex]f(a),\,f(b)[/tex]

[tex]f(a)=f(-1)\\=4(-1)-2\\=-4-2\\=-6\\\\f(b)=f(2)\\=4(2)-2\\=8-2\\=6[/tex]

Average rate of change of the function [tex]=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{f(2)-f(-1)}{2-(-1)}\\\\=\frac{6-(-6)}{3} \\\\=\frac{12}{3}\\\\=4[/tex]

Hisako sells dolls at her doll store. If she sells a doll for $35, and there is 6% sales tax, what is the tax amount a customer will pay on one doll?

Answers

Given:

The price of a doll = $35

Sales tax = 6%

To find:

The tax amount that a customer will pay on one doll.

Solution:

The price of doll is $35 and the sales tax is 6%, so the tax amount on a doll is 6% of 35.

[tex]\text{Tax amount}=35\times \dfrac{6}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Tax amount}=\dfrac{210}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Tax amount}=\dfrac{21}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Tax amount}=2.1[/tex]

Therefore, the tax amount that a customer will pay on one doll is $2.1.

And, the devanie be $18

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Madison be x

Jasmine be 2x

Devanie be x + 6

And, the total is $54

Now the equation is

x + 2x + x + 6 = $54

4x = $48

x = $12

So madision be $12

Jasmine be $24

And, the devanie be $18

The sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is 24 times the size of exterior angle. Find number of sides of the polygon​

Answers

Answer:

n = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is 24 times the size of exterior angle. Find number of sides of the polygon​

let the sum of exterior be e

Let the sum of interior be i

IF the sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is 24 times the size of exterior angle, then;

i = 24e

Also sum of exterior angle = 360/n

i + e = 180

24e + e = 180

25e = 180

e = 180/25

e = 7.2

since  sum of exterior angle = 360/n

7.2 = 360/n

n = 360/7.2

n = 50

The number of sides is 50

9. The volume of a triangular prism is 30 cm. Each triangular face has an area of 4 cm. How long is the prism?

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The required length of the triangular prism is given as 15 centimeters.


Given that,
The volume of a triangular prism is 30 cm. Each triangular face has an area of 4 cm, how long the prism is to be determined.

What is volume?

Volume is defined as the mass of the object per unit density while for geometry it is calculated as profile area multiplied by the length at which that profile is extruded.

Here,
The volume of the triangular prism = 1 / 2[area of face] × length
                                               30  = 1/2 [4] × length
                                          length = 15 cm

Thus, the required length of the triangular prism is given as 15 centimeters.

Answer:

  $11,988

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator gives you the answer easily.

The minimum unit cost is $11,988.

__

The equation for unit cost can be put into vertex form to find the minimum.

  C(x) = 0.7x^2 -210x +27738

  C(x) = 0.7(x^2 -300x +150^2) +27738 -0.7(150^2)

  C(x) = 0.7(x -150)^2 -11,988

This is vertex form:

  C(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . where (h, k) is the vertex.

The vertex of this cost function is (150, 11,988).

The minimum unit cost occurs when 150 engines are produced. That unit cost is $11,988.

the answer is $11,988
