Answer:

<em>At t = 3</em>, pilot can hit the target located at the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given displacement vector:

r(t) = 5 - t, 21 - t², 3-t³/27

so, in this case r(t) and r'(t) should be in the parallel but opposite direction.

In order to get r'(t) we need to differentiate r(t).

<em>r(t) = 5 - t, 21 - t², 3-t³/27 </em>

<em>r'(t) = -1, -2t, -t²/9</em>

Now perform the cross product among these two r(t) and r'(t).

r'(t) x r(t) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\-1&-2t&\frac{-t^{2} }{9}  \\5-t&21-t^{2} &3-\frac{t^{3} }{27} \end{array}\right]

            = i ((-6t + \frac{2t^{4} }{27} )+ ( \frac{21t^{2} }{9} - \frac{t^{2} }{9} )) -j ((-3 + \frac{t^{3} }{27} + \frac{5t^{2} }{9} - \frac{t^{2} }{9} )) + k ((-21 + t^{2}  + 10t -2t^{2}))

           = (\frac{-t^{4} }{27} + \frac{7t^{2} }{3} - 6t )i + (\frac{2t^{3} }{27} - \frac{5t^{2} }{9} +3) j + (-t² + 10t -21)k

In order to find the value of t, we need to put

\frac{-t^{4} }{27} + \frac{7t^{2} }{3} - 6t = 0

-t² + 10t -21 = 0

So, after solving for t, we will get

- ( t-3) (t-7) = 0

t = 3 or t = 7

In this case, only t = 3 satisfies the other two equations as well. t=7 is not satisfying. So take t =3 as the time. and for further assurance, we need to check are our vectors r(t) and r'(t) opposite at t = 3 or not. Let's check it out.

r(3) = 5-3, 21 - 3²,  3 - 3³/27

r (3) = 2, 12, 2

r'(3) = -1, -2(3) , -3²/9

r'(3) = -1, -6 -1

Here, we can easily see that, <em>r(3) = -2 r'(3) which is opposite and hence it is proved that, at exactly t = 3, pilot can hit a target located at the origin. </em>

1. AB = 11 and BC = 5. Find AC 2. AC = 16, BC = x + 4, AB = x + 14. Find x
lord [1]
The wording of the question kinda doesn't make sense in some parts, but I'll try anyway. 1 plus 4 is 5, and since BC is 5, x is 1 for BC. -3 plus 14 is 11, so x is -3 for AB.

A shoebox is 14 inches long and 9 1/2 inches wide. Its volume is 665 cubic inches. Which equation can you use to find how tall t
Vilka [71]

Lets see

  • Volume=Length ×Breadth ×Height

B=9 1/2=9.5in

L=14in

Now

  • 665=14(9.5)H
  • 665=133H
  • H=5in

05.01)A scale drawing of a living room is shown below: A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 3 inches. Th
kykrilka [37]
Scale = 1:30
Length = (1 x 3):(30 x 3) = 3:90 (i.e. the actual length of the living room is 90 inches = 7.5 feet)
Width = (1 x 5.5):(30 x 5.5) = 5.5:165 (i.e. the actual width of the living room is 165 inches = 13.75 feet)
Area of the actual living room = length x width = 7.5 x 13.75 = 103.125
Therefore, area is approximately 103 square feet.

Answer:

i think B but I’m not 100% sure lol

Step-by-step explanation:

Here’s what I found on this app

3w + 8 - w = 4w - 2(w - 4)

2w + 8 = 4w - 2w + 8

2w + 8 = 2w + 8

0 = 0
