Answer:

  • The distance from the plane to the observer tower is 7.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two sides and one angle opposite to one of the known sides.

In order to find the missing side we need to use the law of sines.

<h3>Step 1</h3>

Find the angle opposite to the second known side, let it be x.

  • sin 68°/7.5 = sin x /5.2
  • sin x = 5.2 sin 68°/7.5
  • sin x = 0.64 (rounded)
  • x = arcsin 0.64
  • x = 39.8°

<h3>Step 2</h3>

Find the missing third angle y, using angle sum theorem:

  • 68° + 39.8° + y = 180°
  • 107.8° + y = 180°
  • y = 180° - 107.8°
  • y = 72.2°

<h3>Step 3</h3>

Find the required side length z, the distance from the plane to the observer tower, using the law of sines again.

<u>Note</u>. <em>At this point you can use the law of cosines as we have found the angle between the known sides.</em>

<em />

  • sin 68°/7.5 = sin 72.2°/z
  • z = 7.5 sin 72.2°/sin 68°
  • z = 7.7 km (rounded)

So the required distance is 7.7 km

Which system of equations can be used to find the roots of the equation 4x^2=x^3+2x?
irina [24]
Next time, please share the answer choices.
Starting from scratch, it's possible to find the roots:

<span>4x^2=x^3+2x should be rearranged in descending order by powers of x:

x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x = 0.  Factoring out x:  </span>x(x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0

Clearly, one root is 0.  We must now find the roots of (x^2 - 4x + 2):

Here we could learn a lot by graphing.  The graph of y = x^2 - 4x + 2 never touches the x-axis, which tells us that (x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0 has no real roots other than x=0.  You could also apply the quadratic formula here; if you do, you'll find that the discriminant is negative, meaning that you have two complex, unequal roots.

A company earns a weekly profit of P dollars by selling x items, according to the equation P(x)=-5x^2+40x-300. How many items do
STALIN [3.7K]
Since the equation is:

<span>P(x)=-5x^2+40x-300

Solving the equation by using the calculator, the values for x are:

x = 4.72

Therefore, the company must sell 8 items per week to maximize the profit.

On​ Tuesday, it snowed 15 inches in 6 hours. On​ Friday, it snowed 30 inches in 8 hours. On which day did it snow at a greater r
Viktor [21]

Answer: Friday, 1.25 more per hour

Step-by-step explanation: if we take the inches it snowed and divide it by the hours, we get the rate of snowfall for one hour. 15/6=2.5 and 30/8=3.75

To get how much more we take the bigger snowfall per hour minus the smaller snowfall per hour 3.75-2.5=1.25
