We can then write an equation representing this problem as:

e−1.5mi=5.25mi

Now, add 1.5mi to each side of the equation to solve for e while keeping the equation balanced:

e−1.5mi+1.5mi=5.25mi+1.5mi

e−0=6.75mi

e=6.75mi

The plane's starting elevation was 6.75 miles

Hope this helps!

Find a parametrization, using cos(t) and sin(t), of the following curve: The intersection of the plane y= 5 with the sphere

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The parametrization, of the given curve is $x = 10 cos(t) \ \ ,z = 10 sin(t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given the function

$x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 125$

At y= 5

$x^2 + 5^2 +z^2 =125$

$x^2 + z^2 = 100$

$x^2 + z^2 = 10^2$

Converting the above to it polar equation we have

$x = 10 cos(t) \ \ ,z = 10 sin(t)$

Determine the sum of the first 9 terms in the geometric series where r= -0.25 and a1= 256.

Damm [24]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence} \\\\ S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ r=\textit{common ratio}\\ ----------\\ r=-0.25\\ a_1=256\\ n=9 \end{cases}$

$\bf S_9=256\left(\cfrac{1-(-0.25)^9}{1-(-0.25)} \right)\implies S_9=256\left( \cfrac{1+0.25^9}{1+0.25} \right) \\\\\\ S_9=256\left( \cfrac{52429}{65536}\right)\implies S_9=\cfrac{52429}{256}\implies S_9=204.80078125$

A triangular flag has an area of 187.5 square inches. The base of the flag measures 25 inch How tall is the triangular flag?

SpyIntel [72]

To find the height, you would do the area divided by the base, or in this case,187.5 / 25 which equals 7.5 inches. Hope this helped!
