Answer:

h ≈ 30.10  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Marie measures the angle of elevation from a point A to a tree as 34° . She works 10 ft directly towards the tree and discovered the new angle of elevation is 41°. The height of the tree can be computed below.

let

a = distance from point B to the tree

h = height of the tree

The right angle triangle formed from point B,  we can use tan to find the height of the tree.

tan 41°  = opposite /adjacent

tan 41° = h/a

cross multiply

h = a tan 41°

The right angle formed from point A

tan 34° = opposite/adjacent

tan 34° = h/(a + 10)

(a + 10)tan 34° = h

Therefore,

a tan 41° = (a + 10)tan 34°

0.8692867378

a =  0.6745085168(a + 10)

0.8692867378a = 0.6745085168a + 6.7450851684

collect like terms

0.8692867378a - 0.6745085168a = 6.7450851684

0.194778221a = 6.7450851684

a = 6.7450851684/0.194778221

a = 34. 629565532  ft

height of the tree can be find with

h = a tan 41°

h = 34. 629565532 × 0.8692867378

h =  30.103022053  ft

h = 30.10 ft

Find expressions for the partial derivatives of the following functions:
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: partial derivative is the differentiation of one variable e.g. X while leaving the values of the other variable e.g. Y

These four questions A, B, C and D have different functions separated by commas. I will not assume the commas to be something else like a plus sign.

A. f(x) = g'(x).k(y) , g'(x) + h(y)

f(y) = k'(y).g(x) , g(x) + h'(y)

B. f(x) = g'x (x+y)

f(y) = g'y (x+y) , h'y (y+z)

f(z) = h'z (y+z)

C. f(x) = f'x (xy) , f'x (zx)

f(y) = f'y (xy) , f'y (yz)

f(z) = f'z (yz) , f'z (zx)

D. f(x) = f'x (x) , g'(x) , h'x (x,y)

f(y) = h'x (x,y)

These are the partial derivative expressions for each variable in each function. You will need to pay a lot of attention to understand:

* while differentiating X alone, functions in Y which are separated by commas from the functions in X, are ignored totally because they are different questions

* In functions where X added to Y is in a bracket e.g. (x+y), to find the derivative of X, Y isn't thrown away because they are joined (by a plus sign) the derivative of X alone in this case would be f'x (x+y)

* f(x), just like g(x), simply means/represents a function in X hence f'(x) means the differentiation of all X-terms in that function

Pretty sure it’s the second option because length would be 3w+2
and width would be w+1 and with area you have to multiply so it would just be the (w+1)(3w+2)
