The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two tracking stations A and 8, which are 60 mi apart.

When the satellite is on one side of the two stations, the angles of elevation at A and B are measured to be 87.0 degree and 84.2 degree, respectively. (Round your answers to the nearest mile.)
(a) How far is the satellite from station A?
mi
(b) How high is the satellite above the ground?
mi

Answer:

(a)  2 miles

 (b)  2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance of the satellite from Station A = |AC|

Let the height of the Satellite from the ground = |DC|

(a) Using size rule on triangle ABC, we can find the value of AC with the following relationship:

|AC|/ Sin 84.2 = 10/ Sin 8.8

|AC| = 10 x (Sin 84.2/Sin 8.8)

         =   10 x 0.1529

        =1.529 miles

        = 2 miles (to the nearest mile)

(b) To calculate the |DC|, we apply the relationship of right-angle triangle ADC:

Sin 87 =   |DC|/ 1.529

|DC|   = 1.529 Sin 87

           = 1.526 miles

           = 2 miles (to the nearest mile)

How do You graph : y-10= -5x?
miv72 [106K]

Equation:

y - 10 = -5x

Solve:

(y - 10) + 10 = (-5x) + 10

y = -5x + 10

Remember the formula (Slope Intercept Form):

y = mx + b

m = Slope (Rise/Run)

b = Y-intercept

So your graph would look something like the attached image:

Marci bought 4 yards of ribbon for $6 how much should marci expect to pay for 10 yards of the ribbon?
Vinvika [58]
Ok, let's find how much does 1 yard of ribbon cost. Let's divide!

6 / 4 = 1.5

Each yard costs $1.50, so let's multiply that by 101.5 * 10 = 15

Marci will pay $15 for 10 yards of the ribbon.

netineya [11]

Answer:

x = 0.447

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use your graphing calculator for this.

In y=, put 13(0.25)^x in Y1 and put 7 in y2. Using 2nd trace, find the intersections.

The answer I got was x = 0.447.
