This response is based upon your having had some background in calculus. "dx" is not introduced before that.
Take a look at the sample function y = f(x) = x^2 + 9. Here x is the independent variable; the dependent variable y changes with x.
Now, for a big jump: we consider finding the area under a curve (graph) between x = a and x = b. We subdivide that interval [a,b] into n vertical slices of area. Each of those slices has its own area: f(x)*dx, where dx represents the width of such subarea. f(x)*dx is the actual subarea. To find the total area under the curve f(x) between x= a and x = b, we add up all of these individual subareas between x = a and x = b. Note that the subinterval width is
b-a
dx = ---------- , and that dx becomes smaller and smaller as the number of
n subintervals increases.
Once again, this all makes sense only if you've begun calculus (particularly integral calculus). Do not try to relate it to earlier math courses.
Answer: a) BC = 1386.8 ft
b) CD = 565.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the triangle,
AD = BD + 7600
BD = AD - 7600
Considering triangle BCD, we would apply the the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 24 = CD/BD = CD/(AD - 700)
0.445 = CD/(AD - 700)
CD = 0.445(AD - 700)
CD = 0.445AD - 311.5 - - - - - - - -1
Considering triangle ADC,
Tan 16 = CD/AD
CD = ADtan16 = 0.287AD
Substituting CD = 0.287AD into equation 1, it becomes
CD = 0.445AD - 311.5
0.287AD = 0.445AD - 311.5
0.445AD - 0.287AD = 311.5
0.158AD = 311.5
AD = 311.5/0.158
AD = 1971.52
CD = 0.287AD = 0.287 × 1971.52
CD = 565.8 ft
To determine BC, we would apply the Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
Sin 24 = CD/BC
BC = CD/Sin24 = 565.8/0.408
BC = 1386.8 ft
