From a hot-air balloon, Juan measures a 36° angle of depression to a landmark that's

Mathematics

Masja [62]1 year ago
4 0

Using the slope concept, it is found that the balloon's vertical distance above the ground is of 437.4 feet.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

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

In this problem:

  • The vertical change is x.
  • The horizontal change is of 602 ft.
  • The angle is of 36º.

Hence, applying the concept:

tan (36º) = x/602

x = 602 x tan(36º)

x = 437.4.

سا (a) From the definition of derivatives determine dy÷dx if y = -2÷x​
harina [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: y = -\dfrac{2}{x}

Derivative of a power function x^n:

\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}

Therefore,

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-2(-1)x^{-2} = \dfrac{2}{x^2}

How can I find the co-ordinatie of their point of intersection?
alisha [4.7K]
Combine the two equations so that it’s 2x+5=4x-1 and then subtract 2x from both sides. now it’s 5=4x-1 and add 1 to both sides. now is 6=4x 6 divided by 4 is 1.5 so that is the x value. now sub 1.5 as the x value into the first equation so it’s y=2(1.5)+5. you do the math and it’s y=8 (because 1.5 times 2 is 3 and 3+5 is 8) then your point is (1.5,8)
