An airplane takes off from the ground and reaches a height of 500 feet after flying 2 miles. given the formula h = d tan θ, wher

e h is the height of the plane and d is the distance (along the ground) the plane has flown, find the angle of ascent θ at which the plane took off.

Height covered by the plane=h= 500 feet

Distance covered by the plane along the ground=d= 2 mile

Now, convert the mile into feet,

1 mile = 5280 feet

2 mile = 10560 feet

Now, use the formula

h= d tanθ

tanθ= h/d

tanθ= 500/10560

tanθ= 25/528

Take the tan⁻¹ on both side,

θ= tan⁻¹(25/528)

θ =2.71°

Right triangle ABC has a right angle at ∠B and the following measures: AB=37, m∠C=65°, and m∠A=25°.
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

AC represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠C as the reference angle,

BC represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

AB represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine m, we would apply

the Tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 65 = 37/m

m = 37/Tan65

m = 37/2.1445

m = 17.25

If 0 ≤ Ø < 90 degrees, and tan Ø= 2/3, what is sinØ + cosØ?
Alika [10]

Answer:

1.38

Step-by-step explanation:

tan Ø = 2/3

Ø = tan⁻¹(2/3)

Ø = 33.69

sin 33.69 ≈ 0.55

cos 33.69 ≈ 0.83

sin Ø + cos Ø ≈ 1.38

What is the equation of the graph?
ra1l [238]
The general shape is that of an exponential function. Since the horizontal asymptote is -3, it appears to be shifted down 3. The y-intercept is 1 unit above the horizontal asymptote, so it appears there has been no horizontal shift.

For x=1, the curve goes through a point 6 units above the horizontal asymptote. This suggests the equation is
  y = 6^x - 3
