Answer:

In traveling across flat land, you notice a mountain directly in front of you. Its angle of elevation (to the peak) is 3.5°. After you drive x = 13 km closer to the mountain, the angle of elevation is 9°. Find the height of the mountain (round to one decimal place). Just enter the height value with one decimal. Do not enter the unit.

The height of the mountain is 1.2 km without unit it is only 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two angle of elevation.

We have to find the height of the mountain.

Let the height be "h" .

Note:

Angle of elevation will increase as we move closer to the object.

Considering the distance from 3.5 ° as (13+x) km

Using trigonometric ratios:

For adjacent side "x".

⇒ tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

⇒ tan(9) = \frac{h}{x}               <em> ...equation (i)</em>

⇒ x\times tan(9) = h         <em>...equation (ii)</em>

For adjacent side "(13+x)"

⇒ tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

⇒ tan(3.5) = \frac{h}{13+x}          <em>...equation (iii)</em>

 Dividing equation (i) and (iii).

⇒ \frac{tan(9)}{tan(3.5)} =\frac{h}{x}\times \frac{13+x}{h}

⇒ 2.58 =\frac{13+x}{x}                  <em>...cross multiplication</em>

⇒ 2.58x=13+x

⇒ 2.58x-x=13+x-x   <em>...subtract x both side</em>

⇒ 1.58x=13

⇒ x=\frac{13}{1.58}

⇒x=8.22 km

Plugging x=8.22 km in equation (ii) we can find h that is the height of the mountain.

So,

⇒ x\times tan(9) = h

⇒ 8.22\times 0.15 =h

⇒ 1.23 = h

The height of the mountain is 1.23 km with one decimal it is 1.2 km only.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line; (-5,-4) and prep. To y equals 5x plus 1
ohaa [14]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is defined by:  y=5x+1, where we see that the slope is 5 and the y-intercept 1.

In order to find a line perpendicular to the given one, we need it to have a slope that is the "opposite of the reciprocal" of the given slope.

"Opposite" means it would have its sign inverted (in our case from positive to negative); and "reciprocal means that instead of 5, it would be its reciprocal: \frac{1}{5}.

We can write this new line with such slope, and try to find its y-intercept (b) by using the given condition that requires it to go through the point (-5,-4) on he plane:

y=-\frac{1}{5} x+b

we require then that when x=-5, the value of y=-4.

Therefore: -4=-\frac{1}{5} (-5)+b\\-4=\frac{5}{5} +b\\-4=1+b\\b=-4-1=-5

Then our final answer is that the new line should have the form: y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5
