The distance to the earth’s horizon from point P is 281.6 miles

<h3>How to determine the distance to the earth’s horizon from point P?</h3>

The tangent line from P meets the radius of the earth at a right angle.

This means that the triangle is a right triangle.

The length of x is then calculated as:

(3959 + 10)^2= 3959^2 + x^2

Rewrite as:

x^2 = (3959 + 10)^2- 3959^2

Evaluate

x^2 = 79280

Take the square root of both sides

x = 281.6

Hence, the distance to the earth’s horizon from point P is 281.6 miles

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

note that 4096 = $8^{4}$ , then

$8^{2x}$ = $8^{4}$

Since bases on both sides are equal, both 8 , then equate the exponents

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

Find dy/dx for y=log (tan2x)

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{sin2x cos2x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = log (tan 2x)

Applying chain rule:

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} (1st function) . \frac{d}{dx} (2nd function). \frac{d}{dx}(3rd function)$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} log(tan 2x) . \frac{d}{dx} tan2x. \frac{d}{dx} 2x$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{tan2x} \times sec^{2}2x \times 2$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2sec^{2}2x }{tan2x}$

Now since $sec^{2}x = \frac{1}{cos^{2}x } \ and\ tanx = \frac{sinx}{cosx}$

∴ $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2cos2x }{sin2x cos^22x}$

∴ $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{sin2x cos2x}$

Answer:

y = 1/26x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract x both sides

-26y = 52 + (-x)

Divide by -26 both sides

y = -2 + 1/26x

y = 1/26x - 2
