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>

Find the degree of w
lorasvet [3.4K]

Sum of angles of a linear pair = 180. So angle with measurement 142 and the adjacent angle to it have a sum = 180.

THerefore 142+y=180

Subtracting 142 from both sides

y = 38

Now in the down right sides corner triangle

38+49+w=180

87+w=180

Subtracting 80 from both sides,

w = 93

So the measurement of angle w = 93 .

Can someone explain the process getting from:
spin [16.1K]
\rm 5=e^{3b}

The unknown b is stuck in the exponent position.
We can can fix that by using logarithms.
Log is the inverse operation of the exponential.

We'll take log of each side.
Log of what base tho?

Well, the base of our exponential is e,
so we'll take log base e of each side.

\rm log_e(5)=log_e(e^{3b})

We'll apply one of our log rules next:
\rm \log(x^y)=y\cdot\log(x)

This allows us to take the exponent out of the log,

\rm log_e(5)=(3b)log_e(e)

Another thing to remember about logs:
When the base of the log matches the inside of the log,
then the whole thing is simply 1,
\rm log_{10}(10)=1
\rm log_5(5)=1
\rm log_e(e)=1

So our equation simplifies to this,

\rm log_e(5)=(3b)\cdot1

As a final step, divide both sides by 3,

\rm \frac13log_e(5)=b

k, hope that helps!
