By definition, an expression does not contain AN EQUALS SIGN (=).
From the astronaut to the horizon is a tangent line to the curvature of the earth. And from that point on the horizon to the center of the earth is at a right angle to the tangent and is equal to the radius of the earth...so we can say
cosα=r/(r+h) where r is the radius of the earth and h is the height above the surface of the earth...
α=arccos(r/(r+h))
now tanα=d/r where d is the distance from the astronaut to the point on the horizon so:
tan(arccos(r/(r+h))=d/r
d=rtan(arccos(r/(r+h))) and using r≈4000 and h=50 we get:
d=4000tan(arccos(4000/(4050)))
d≈634.42mi
d≈634 mi (to nearest mile)
Answer:
D. (y-4)^2/12^2 + (x-2)^2/6^2=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Took the quiz.
Answer:
The p-value falls between 0.005 and 0.01.
Step-by-step explanation:
Random sample of 30 observations, you obtain t = 2.35
This means that the pvalue is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z = 2.35, as we are testing that the mean is more than a value.
Looking at the z-table, z = 2.35 has a pvalue of 0.9906
1 - 0.9906 = 0.0094
So, between 0.005 and 0.01.
