An airplane is flying at an elevation of 5150 ft, directly above a straight highway. Two motorists are driving cars on the highw

ay on opposite sides of the plane, and the angle of depression to one car is 34° and to the other is 54°. How far apart are the cars? (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)

Answer:

The cars are 10702ft apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the plane from the high way = 5150ft

Considering Triangle ABD, we will be using SOHCAHTOA

Tan = Opposite/ Adjacent

Tan 54° = Y/5150

Y = 5150*tan54°

Y = 7088 ft

Considering Triangle ADC, Tan = Opposite/ Adjacent is also applicable

Tan 34° = X/5150

X = 5150*tan 54°

X = 3614ft

The distance between the two cars = (X+Y)

= 7088 + 3614

= 10702ft

Esteban's credit card issuing bank charges him an APR of 16% on new purchases, and 24% on
Julli [10]

Answer: $14

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the amount of the cash advance (700) by the APR for cash advances in decimal form (divided by 100):

700 x (24/100) = $168 (a year)

To obtain the monthly charges, we have to divide the result by the number of months in a year (12):

168 /12 = $14

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Help.... and thanks
Archy [21]

Answer:

π

Step-by-step explanation:

The *period* of a function is the length it takes before it repeats. Usually, the period of the sine function is 2π; it takes a full rotation around the unit circle for it to repeat. When we replace the input x with -2x, this does a few things:

- Changes the rotation direction

- Makes the rotation go twice as fast

If we rotate around the unit circle twice as fast, it’ll take us half of 2π, or just π to complete a cycle.
