The rate of change of the angle of elevation of the balloon from the observer when the balloon is 100 feet above the ground is 1/20 degree/sec.

<h3>What is angle of elevation?</h3>

It is described as a relationship between an oblique line from the observer's eye to an item above his eye and the horizontal plane. This angle eventually develops above the surface. The angle of elevation is made in such a way that it is above the observer's eye, as the name suggests.

Calculation for the rate of change of angle of elevation-

According to the question,

A balloon rises at the rate of 10 ft/sec from a point on the ground 100 feet from an observer.

The balloon is 100 feet above the ground.

Let the height of the balloon be 'h' ft.

Then tanØ = h/100

h = 100tanØ

Differentiate the above equation with respect to time.

dh/dt = 100 sec² Ø (dØ/dt)

We know dh/dt = 10 ft/sec.

when h = 100

tanØ = 100/100 = 1/1

tanØ = Perpendicular/Base

On comparing above two equations,

Perpendicular = 1; Base = 1.

By Pythagoras the hypotenuse is,

H² = P² + B²

= 1² + 1²

= 2

H = √2

Now, calculate the value of cosØ.

cosØ = B/H = 1/√2

Squaring both side

cos² Ø = 1/2

sec² Ø = 1/cos² Ø

sec² Ø = 2

The main equation was,

dh/dt = 100 sec² Ø (dØ/dt)

Substitute the values,

dØ/dt = (dh/dt )/100 sec² Ø

= (10)/(100×2)

dØ/dt = 1/20 degree/sec.

Therefore, the rate of change of the angle of elevation of the balloon from the observer is 1/20 degree/sec.

Allison and Megan were at track practice. The track is 3/8 kilometers around.

Ad libitum [116K]

Allison ran 3/8 km (0.375 km) in 3 minutes.

Set up a proportion to find how long it takes for her to run 1 km

$\frac{0.375\textrm{km}}{3 \textrm{min}} = \frac{1\textrm{km}}{x \textrm{min}}$

Cross multiply to get:

$3 = 0.375x$

Solve:

$x = \frac{3}{0.375}$

x = 8 minutes

What is this answer im being timed so plz help

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

(Kind of cheating but since you're timed I'm just gonna five you the answer:

3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this by guessing a bit, I used what varibles I had and 0.27 & 3 and used them.

So 3/0.27 = 11.11 (Repeating) so then I rounded this to a whole number,

3/11 = 0.27 (Repeating)

natulia [17]

Answer:

I= 84

Step-by-step explanation:

for

$I=\int\limits^{}_{} \int\limits^{}_D {x*y} \, dA = \int\limits^{}_{} \int\limits^{}_D {x*y} \, dx*dy$

since D is the rectangle such that 0<x<3 , 0<y<3

$I=\int\limits^{}_{} \int\limits^{}_D {x*y} \, dA = \int\limits^{3}_{0} \int\limits^{3}_{0} {x*y} \, dx*dy = \int\limits^{3}_{0} {x} \, dx\int\limits^{3}_{0} {y} \, dy = x^{2} /2*y^{2} /2 = (3^{2} /2 - 0^{2} /2)* (3^{2} /2 - 0^{2} /2) = 3^{4} /4 = 81/4$

1. What is the value of the y variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

ollegr [7]

Part 1)

we have

$3x-6y=3$ ------> equation A

$7x-5y=-11$ ------> equation B

Multiply by $-7$ the equation A

$-7(3x-6y)=-7*3$

$-21x+42y=-21$ ------> equation C

Multiply by $3$ the equation B

$3*(7x-5y)=-11*3$

$21x-15y=-33$ -------> equation D

Adds equation C and equation D

$-21x+42y=-21 \\21x-15y=-33\\---------- \\ 42y-15y=-21-33\\27y=-54 \\ y=-2$

therefore

<u>the answer Part 1) is the option A </u>

$y=-2$

Part 2)

we have

$3x+y=6$

$y=-3x+6$ ------> equation A

$6x+2y=8$

Simplify Divide by $2$ both sides

$3x+y=4$

$y=-3x+4$ ------> equation B

the lines A and B are parallel lines, because the slope m is equal

so

The system has no solution

therefore

<u>the answer Part 2) is the option D</u>

There is no x value as there is no solution to the system.

Part 3)

we have

$4x+2y=6$ ------> equation A

$x-y=3$

$y=x-3$ ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$4x+2[x-3]=6$

$6x-6=6$

$6x=12$

$x=2$

therefore

<u>the answer part 3) is the option D</u>

$x=2$

Part 4)

Let

x---------> The number of one-step equations

y---------> The number of two-step equations

we know that

$x+y=1,120$

$x=1,120-y$ -------> equation A

$3x-2y=1,300$ ------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$3[1,120-y]-2y=1,300$

$3,360-5y=1,300$

$5y=3,360-1,300$

$5y=2,060$

$y=412$

therefore

<u>the answer part 4) is the option D</u>

$y=412$
