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

Find a set of parametric equations for the rectangular equation that satisfies the given condition. (Enter your answers as a com
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

x = 3 - t and y = 4 - 2t

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find such a set of parametric equations for the given equation which result in an x-value equal to 3 and a y-value equal to 4 when t is substituted as 0.

There can be more than 1 possible answers to this problem. You have to use hit and trial method to come up with the correct set of parametric equations. One of the possible set is:

y = 4 - 2t , x = 3 - t

For t = 0

x= 3 and y = 4

Hence, the condition is satisfied.

Now checking if these parametric equations result in given equation or not.

From second equation, we get:

t = 3 - x

Using this value in first equation, we get:

y = 4 - 2(3 - x)

y = 4 - 6 + 2x

y = 2x - 2

Which is the given equation.

Hence the set of parametric equation is:

x = 3 - t and y = 4 - 2t
