I need to know how to work following problem: union motion- A small airplane approaches a runway at a speed of 90 miles per hour

. When it is 1/2 Mike away, the plane is 200 feet above the level of the runway. What is the rate of decent of the plane, in feet per minute?

First lets convert everything to feet, and feet/min

1/2 mile = 5280/2 = 2640 feet
90 mi/hr = (90)(5280)/(60) = 7920 ft/min

Next lets find total distance plane is away from runway.
Set up right triangle where total distance is hypotenuse.
d = \sqrt{200^2 + 2640^2} = 2647.5649

Next we will use a little trig. Let theta be the angle of elevation from runway to the plane. The rate of descent is the vertical component of the planes speed. Find vertical component using sine.
\frac{dy}{dt} = 7920 sin \theta

Finally substitute ratio from right triangle for sin theta.
\frac{dy}{dt} = 7920 (\frac{200}{2647.5649}) = 598.286

The rate of descent is about 598 feet per minute.

A line passes through the point (4,-6) and he a slope -3/4. Which is the equation of the line?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The equation of the line is 3x + 4y + 12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

given \: that \: the \: line \: passes \: through \: (4 , - 6) \\ and \: has \: the \: slope \: of \:  \frac{ - 3}{4}  \\ the \: equation \: of \: the \: line \: is \\ y - y1 = m(x - x1) \\ here \: x1 = 4 \:  \:  \: y1 =  - 6 \:  \: and \: m =  \frac{ - 3}{4}  \\ on \: substituting \: the \: values \: in \: formula \\ y - ( - 6) =  \frac{ - 3}{4} (x - 4) \\ y + 6 = \frac{ - 3}{4} (x - 4)  \\ 4(y + 6) =  - 3(x - 4) \\ 4y + 24 =  - 3x + 12 \\ 3x + 4y + 24 - 12 = 0 \\ 3x + 4y + 12 = 0

Given the parent function f(x) = x^2 describe the translation of the function y=(.2x)^2?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(x) = x ^ 2 be a quadratic function

Then we do the function y = f(bx) = (bx) ^ 2

Where b is a real number.

If b> 1 then the function y = (bx) ^ 2 represents a horizontal compression of the function y = x ^ 2  

If  0 Then the function y = (bx) ^ 2 represents a horizontal expansion compression of the function y = x ^ 2 by a factor of \frac{1}{b}

In this case, the equation is:

y = (0.2x) ^ 2 Then:

b = 0.2

0

Thus

y = (0.2x) ^ 2 is a horizontal expansion of the function y = x ^ 2 by a factor of \frac{1}{0.2} = 5.

The correct option is: Option C

Damm [24]

Answer:

c = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A 3-variable linear system of equations is constructed after replacing known values for x and y:

16\cdot a - 4 \cdot b + c = 7

9\cdot a + 3\cdot b + c = 0

64\cdot a + 8\cdot b + c = 10

After making algebraic manipulation, the following solution is found:

a = \frac{1}{4} and b = -\frac{3}{4} and c = 0

The value of c is 0.
