Answer:
4.02°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of descent can be obtained using trigonometry ;
Since we have a right angled triangle ;
Let's use the relation:
Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus
Hypotenus = 2.7 miles
1 mile = 5280 feets
2.7 miles = (2.7 * 5280) = 14256 feets
Sin θ = 1000 / 14256
Sin θ = 0.0701459
θ = sin^-1(0.0701459)
θ = 4.0223674
Using derivatives, it is found that regarding the tangent line to the function, we have that:
- The equation of the line is y = 962x - 5119.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The slope of the line tangent to a function f(x) at x = x' is given by f'(x'). In this problem, the function is given by:
f(x) = 5x³ + 2x + 1.
The derivative is given by:
f'(x) = 15x² + 2.
Hence the slope at x = 8 is:
m = f'(8) = 15(8)² + 2 = 962.
The line goes through the point (8,f(8)), hence:
f(8) = 5(8)³ + 2(8) + 1 = 2577.
Hence:
y = 962x + b
2577 = 962(8) + b
b = -5119.
Hence the equation is:
y = 962x - 5119.

Answer:
y=-4x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
it does not show the equations that are following
but the main thing you need to know is that when two lines are parallel they have the same slope
and do you mean 2x+8y=18 not x?
edit:
answer choices: y=-4x+3, y=8x-2, y=4x+7, y=-8x+9
2y+8x=18
first change that equation to slope intercept form to find the slope
2y = -8x+18 -> y = -4x+9
slope is -4
so the answer is y=-4x+3 because it also has a slope of -4
