Answer:

‭1419.42‬ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the height of the blimp above the cars and x₁ be the distance from the blimp to the first car at an angle of depression of 34.99° and x₂ be the distance from the blimp to the second car at an angle of depression of 26.5°.

From trigonometric ratios,

tan34.99° = y/x₁ and tan26.5° = y/x₂

So, x₁ = yt/an34.99° and x₂ = y/tan26.5°

So, the distance between the cars is thus d = x₂ - x₁ = y/tan26.5° - y/tan34.99°= y(1/tan26.5° - 1/tan34.99°) = y(cot26.5° - cot34.99°)

Since y = height of blimp above the road = 2460 feet, substituting it into the equation, we have,

d = 2460(cot26.5° -  cot34.99°)

d = 2460(2.0057 - 1.4287)

d = 2460(0.577)

d =  ‭1419.42‬ feet

The graph below represents which system of inequalities?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

y ≤ 2x -2 Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the dotted line which passes through (3,0) and (0,8) will be

y = mx+C

m = \frac{y-y'}{x-x'}=\frac{3-0}{0-3} = -1

and C = 3

So equation will be y = x + 3

But shaded blue part is above the dotted line so inequality will be y> -x +3

Equation of the second solid line which passes through ( 0,-2) and (1,0) will be

y = mx + C

m = \frac{y-y'}{x-x'} = \frac{0+2}{1-0} = 2

and C = -2

So equation of the line will be y = 2x - 2

But shaded yellow part is below the solid line.

So inequality will be

y ≤ 2x -2

Option C. is the answer.

Consider the function below. g(x) = 4x − 1 Find the difference quotient below (where h ≠ 0) and simplify your answer. g(x + h) −
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The difference quotient is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

g(x) = 4x - 1

To find:

Difference quotient = ?

where h \neq 0

Solution:

Formula for Difference quotient is given as:

\dfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h}

First of all, let us find out g(x+h)

Replacing x with x+h

g(x+h) = 4(x+h)-1 \\\Rightarrow g(x+h) = 4x+4h-1

Now,

g(x+h)-g(x) = (4x+4h-1 )-(4x-1)\\\Rightarrow g(x+h)-g(x) = 4x+4h-1 -4x+1\\\Rightarrow g(x+h)-g(x) = 4h

Putting the above value in:

\dfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h} = \dfrac{4h}{h}

We are given that, h \neq 0

\therefore \dfrac{4h}{h}  = 4

So, the difference quotient is 4.
