A plane has an altitude of 23760 feet which expression can I use to find the altitude in miles

Mathematics

Lyrx [107]3 years ago

Perhaps we can treat this as a "distance to horizon" problem, the observer is 7 mi above the earth

One formula is: d+=+sqrt%28%283h%29%2F2%29 where d is in miles and h is in feet

Change 7 mi; 5280*7 = 36960 ft

so we have

d = sqrt%28%283960%2A3%29%2F2%29

d ~ 235.5 mi

looking in opposite directions a total of 2*235 = 471 mi can be viewed

Find the circumference of the earth

C = pi%2A8000

C = 25133 mi

:

The arc: 471%2F25133 * 360 = 6.7 degrees

:

This should be pretty close, because the earth is so large compared to the altitude. would appreciate if it you would let me know. C

In an isolated environment, a disease spreads at a rate proportional to the product of the infected and non-infected populations
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Expression: N = C·L·l(t)· T + 20

The initial value problem and solution are expressed as a first order differential equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, gather the information:

total population, N = 2 000

Proportionality constant, C = 0.0002

l(t) number of infected individuals = l(t)

healthy individuals = L

The equation is given as follows:

N = C·L·l(t)

However, there is a change with time, so the expression will be:

\frac{dN}{dt} = C·L·l(t)

multiplying both sides  by dt gives:

dN  =   C·L·l(t)

Integrating both sides gives:

\int\limits^a_b {dN} \, dt = \int\limits^a_b {CLl(t)} \, dt

N = C·L·l(t)· T + K

initial conditions:

T= 0, N₀ = (0.01 ₓ 2 000)  = 20

to find K, plug in the values:

N₀ = K

20 = K

At any time T, the expression will be:

<u>N = C·L·l(t)· T + 20</u> Ans

Paul [167]

Answer:

f(7) = -23

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -3x - 2

f(7) = -3(7) - 2

f(7) = -21 - 2 = -23
