Charlie is at a small airfield watching for the approach of a small plane with engine trouble. He sees the plane at an angle of

elevation of 32. At the same time, the pilot radios Charlie and reports the plane’s altitude is 1,700 feet. Charlie’s eyes are 5.2 feet from the ground. Draw a sketch of this situation (you do not need to submit the sketch). Find the ground distance from Charlie to the plane. Type your answer below. Explain your work.

Check the picture.

Let the given points represent the following:

F : Charlie's feet
E: Charlie's eyes
P: location of the plane
G: the foot of the perpendicular drawn from P to the ground
A: a point on PG, such that |GA|=|FE|=5.2 feet.

Clearly EAP is a right triangle, with m(AEP)=32°, side PA=1,700-5.2=1694.8 feet.

<span>the ground distance from Charlie to the plane is |FG|=|EA|

from right angle trigonometry, we know that:

</span>tan32= \frac{PA}{AE}
<span>
</span>0.625= \frac{1694.8}{AE}
<span>
</span>AE= \frac{1694.8}{0.625}=2711.68 feet
<span>

Answer: 2711.68 feet</span>

The half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years. If you start with 50 atoms of it, how many will you have left after 700 milli
Alecsey [184]
The answer is
A half life pertains to the time it takes for exactly half of a substance to disappear. So, if U235 has a half life of 700 million years, it will take 700 <span>million years for half of it to decay. That would leave .5kg or 500g.</span>

Answer:

1: C(n) = 2.50 + 16n

2: $66.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Each ticket costs $16 per person. If tickets for n persons were purchased, the total cost would be 16n.

There is also a one-time service fee of $2.50 that must be paid. Thus, for n tickets the total cost is

C(n) = 2.50 + 16n

Part 2

For n = 4, the expression evaluates to

C(4) = 2.50 + 16 (4) = $66.50

Answer:

m+1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3(9 - 6m) + 1/4 (12m-8)

Distribute

1/3 *9  - 1/3 *6m  + 1/4 * 12m - 1/4 *8

3 -2m + 3m -2

Combine like terms

-2m+3m +3-2

m+1
