A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 3 mi and a speed of 440 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. find the rate a

t which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 4 mi away from the station. (round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
  sin(α) = 3/4
and
  cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4

The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
  (440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph

Answer:

(x-5)² + y² = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

formula of circle: (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²  where (h,k) is coordinate of center and r is radius

center: (5 , 0)    r = 2

Equation: (x-5)² + y² = 4

Solve photo question. Mathematics. Please. Easy one. And last one.
Elan Coil [88]
A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $4.40. There are 53 coins in all. How many nickels are there?

Nickel is a US coin worth 5 cents or 0.05.
Dime is a US coin worth 10 cents or 0.10

n + d = 53
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40

n = 53 - d
0.05(53 - d) + 0.10d = 4.40  
2.65 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05d = 4.40 - 2.65
0.05d = 1.75
d = 1.75 / 0.05
d = 35

n = 53 - d
n = 53 - 35
n = 18 

There are 18 nickels and 35 dimes.

0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05(18) + 0.10(35) = 4.40
0.90 + 3.5 = 4.40
4.40 = 4.40

How to write standard form for: (please answer this question soon )
professor190 [17]
Put the terms in order of decreasing degree, all on the left. When convenient, it is nice to have mutually prime integer coefficients with the leading one positive.

a) x² -2x +1 = 0

b) x² +15 = 0

c) 4x² -12 = 0
or, better, divide out the common factor of 4.
  x² -3 = 0

d) 3x² -x -5 = 0

_____
Shown is the standard form for a single-variable second-degree equation. Form varies depending on the nature of the equation. Equations of conic sections have different standard forms, depending on the curve.

Which graph represents y = |xl?<br> A<br> B<br> C<br> D
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation represented in the question is the parent absolute value question. If you know the different parent functions, then the answer is obvious because absolute value equations always form a V. However, if you do not do this then you can create a table and plugin values. Plugin numbers like 0, -1, and 1 for X and solve for Y. Finally, graph these points and see what graph best fits. If needed you can also plug in more points.
