Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let d =  the horizontal distance from Charlie to the plane.
By definition,
tan(32°) = 1694.8/d 
1694.8/d = 0.6249
d = 1694.8/0.6249 = 2712.2 ft

Answer:  2,712.2 ft

F(x) = 2x^2 - 3x, calculate f(x+h)-f(x) / h
kvasek [131]
First plug in (x+h) for x in the function.
f(x+h)= 2(x-h)^2-3(x-h) = 2(x^2-2xh+h^2)-3x-3h =
2x^2-4xh+2h^2-3x-3h - 2x^2 +3x =
(-4xh +2h^2-3h)/h
