The figure is a scalene triangle, and the exact length of side a is √13

<h3>How to determine the exact length of side a?</h3>

To calculate the length of a, we make use of the following law of cosine

a² = b² + c² - 2bc * cos(A)

Using the values in the figure, we have:

a² = 3√2² + 5² - 2 * 3√2 * 5 * cos(45)

Evaluate the expression

a² = 18 + 25 - 30

Evaluate the sum and the difference

a² = 13

Take the square root of both sides

a = √13

Hence, the exact length of side a is √13

A small rocket is fired from a launch pad 10 m above the ground with an initial velocity left angle 250 comma 450 comma 500 righ

jonny [76]

Let $\vec r(t),\vec v(t),\vec a(t)$ denote the rocket's position, velocity, and acceleration vectors at time $t$ .

We're given its initial position

$\vec r(0)=\langle0,0,10\rangle\,\mathrm m$

and velocity

$\vec v(0)=\langle250,450,500\rangle\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

Immediately after launch, the rocket is subject to gravity, so its acceleration is

$\vec a(t)=\langle0,2.5,-g\rangle\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

where $g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

a. We can obtain the velocity and position vectors by respectively integrating the acceleration and velocity functions. By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

$\vec v(t)=\left(\vec v(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\vec a(u)\,\mathrm du\right)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$\vec v(t)=\left(\langle250,450,500\rangle+\langle0,2.5u,-gu\rangle\bigg|_0^t\right)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

(the integral of 0 is a constant, but it ultimately doesn't matter in this case)

$\boxed{\vec v(t)=\langle250,450+2.5t,500-gt\rangle\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

and

$\vec r(t)=\left(\vec r(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\vec v(u)\,\mathrm du\right)\,\rm m$

$\vec r(t)=\left(\langle0,0,10\rangle+\left\langle250u,450u+1.25u^2,500u-\dfrac g2u^2\right\rangle\bigg|_0^t\right)\,\rm m$

$\boxed{\vec r(t)=\left\langle250t,450t+1.25t^2,10+500t-\dfrac g2t^2\right\rangle\,\rm m}$

b. The rocket stays in the air for as long as it takes until $z=0$ , where $z$ is the $z$ -component of the position vector.

$10+500t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t\approx102\,\rm s$

The range of the rocket is the distance between the rocket's final position and the origin (0, 0, 0):

$\boxed{\|\vec r(102\,\mathrm s)\|\approx64,233\,\rm m}$

c. The rocket reaches its maximum height when its vertical velocity (the $z$ -component) is 0, at which point we have

$-\left(500\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2g(z_{\rm max}-10\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies\boxed{z_{\rm max}=125,010\,\rm m}$

Qt + a = -1 <br><br> when q = 3 and t = 4

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

$a=-13$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use substitution to find the value of $a$ :

$qt+a=-1$

$3(4)+a=-1$

$12+a=-1$

$a=-13$

Hope this helps :)

The rate of change of the function f(x) = 8 sec(x) + 8 cos(x) is given by the expression 8 sec(x) tan(x) − 8 sin(x). Show that t

liq [111]

Answer:

Shown - See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The given form for rate of change is:

8 sec(x) tan(x) − 8 sin(x).

- The form we need to show:

8 sin(x) tan2(x)

- We will first use reciprocal identities:

$8\frac{sin(x)}{cos^2(x)} - 8sin(x)$

- Now take LCM:

$8\frac{sin(x)- sin(x)*cos^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}$

- Using pythagorean identity , sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1:

$8*sin(x)*\frac{1- cos^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} = 8*sin(x)*\frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}$

- Again use pythagorean identity tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x):

$8*sin(x)*tan^2(x)$
