Answer: The angle of elevation is 18.4 degrees (Approximately)
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for more details.
The pole from top to bottom is 20 feet tall and is depicted as line FB. An observer is standing at a distance of 20 feet from the base of the pole, and that is depicted as line BA. The observer who is at point A looks up to the top of the flagpole at an angle of elevation shown as angle A.
Using angle A as the reference angle, line FB which is 20 feet would be the opposite (facing the reference angle), while line BA which is 60 feet would be the adjacent (that lies between the right angle and the reference angle).
Therefore, to calculate angle A;
Tan A = Opposite/Adjacent
Tan A = 20/60
Tan A = 1/3
Tan A = 0.3333
Checking with your calculator or table of values,
A = 18.4349°
Rounded to the nearest tenth,
A ≈ 18.4°
X=6 and Y= 6 square root 2
Answer:
11.4
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that Triangle ACB is similar to Triangle EFD.
This means that their sides are proportional to each other.
We want to find x or side AB. To do so, we can set up a proportion.
The proportional side to AB is ED. Let's also use BC since we know its value. The proportional side to BC is DF. Thus:
Substitute x for AB, 3.8 for Ed, 15 for BC, and 5 for DF. Thus:
Reduce the right:
Cross multiply:
So, the value of x is 11.4
And we're done!
Let
The curl is
where 
denotes the partial derivative operator with respect to 
. Recall that
and that for any two vectors

, and 
.
The cross product reduces to
When you compute the partial derivatives, you'll find that all the components reduce to 0 and
which means 
is indeed conservative and we can find 
.
Integrate both sides of
with respect to 
and
Differentiate both sides with respect to 
and
Now
and differentiating with respect to 
gives
for some constant 
. So
