A civil engineer is mapping the overhead clearance of his family’s property on a coordinate grid. The ground is represented by t

he x-axis and the base of the house is at the origin. There are two trees on the property. One tree is 8 feet from the base of the house and is 16 feet tall. The other tree is 11 feet from the base of the house and is 9 feet tall. What is the distance from the base of the house to the closest treetop? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Need answer ASAP.

The distance from the base of the tree to the tallest would be 14.21 cm

<h3>We have the following data points in this question</h3>

X1 = 8 feet

y1 = 16 feet

x2 = 11 feet

y2 = 9 feet

To proceed with the solution we have to

We have to solve for the shorter tree

\sqrt{(y2 -y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2} \\\\= \sqrt{9-0^2 + 11-0^2}

<em>= </em>9² + 11²

= √81 +121

= 14.21

<h3>For the taller tree we would have</h3>

√8² + 16²

= √64 +256

= 17.89

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following functions on the given curves functions:
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Solution has explained below:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) f(x,y) = x+y

To find out the maximum and minimum values, we need to find first and second derivatives, we have

fx= 1, fx₁=0 and

fy= 1 and fyy=0

For stationary points fx=fy=0, which gives,

1=1=0, so that there is just one stationary point, (x,y)=(0,0)

If  fx₁  < 0 and fyy < 0, function is maximum

If  fx₁ > 0 and fyy > 0, function is minimum.

(b) g(x,y) = xy

Sol: To find out the maximum and minimum values, we need to find first and second derivatives, we have

fx= 1 and fy  = 1

fx₁ = 0 and fyy =0

for stationary points fx = fy =0, which gives 1=1=0, so that there is just one stationary points, (x,y) =(0,0)

If fx₁ < 0 and fyy < 0, function is maximum.

If  fx₁  > 0 and fyy> 0, function is minimum.

c) h(x,y) = 2x2 + y2

sol: To find out the maximum and minimum values, we need to find first and second derivatives, we have

fx = 4x  and fy = 2y

fx₁= 4  and fyy = 2

Now, taking fx = 0 and fy = 0

Gives x=0 and y=0,

Stationary points are (x,y) = (0,0)

If fx₁ < 0 and fyy < 0, solution is maximum,

If fx₁ > 0 and fyy > 0, solution is minimum,

Here, fx₁ = 4 > 0 and fyy = 2 > 0.

A rope is tied to the bottom of a hot air balloon ad shown below The rope makes an angle of 35 with the ground and is 75 ft long
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 43 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

angle = Ф = 35°

length = 75 ft

height = ?

Process

To solve this problem, use trigonometric functions. The trigonometric function that relates the Opposite side (height) and the hypotenuse (length) is sine.

               sin Ф = Height / length

-Solve for height

                height = length x sin Ф

-Substitution

                height = 75 x sin 35

-Simplification

                height = 75 x 0.574

-Result

                 height = 43 ft

Find the Y-coordinate of point P that lies 1/3 along segment RS, where R (-7, -2) and S (2, 4).
QveST [7]

Solution:

Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:

To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

\begin{gathered} RP:PS \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3} \\ thus,\text{ we have} \\ 1:2 \end{gathered}

Using the section formula expressed as

[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

In this case,

\begin{gathered} m=1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}

where

\begin{gathered} x_1=-7 \\ y_1=-2 \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}

Thus, by substitution, we have

\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}

Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is
