A 6-foot man walks on level ground toward a 60 foot flag pole. He notes different angles of elevation θ to the top of the pole w

hen he is different horizontal distances x away from the pole.
a) Express the man's horizontal distance from the base of the pole x (in feet) as a function of the angle of elevation θ in degrees. Type theta for θ.
b) Express the angle of elevation θ as a function of the man's horizontal distance to the base of the pole x.

Answer:

  a)  x = 54/tan(theta)

  b)  theta = arctan(54/x)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The tangent ratio is the ratio of the side opposite an acute angle in a right triangle to the adjacent side. For the angle of elevation, the adjacent side is the distance x to the flagpole. The side opposite is the 54-foot difference between the top of the man's head and the top of the flagpole. So, we have ...

  tan(theta) = 54/x

Solving for x gives ...

  x = 54/tan(theta)

__

b) Solving the first equation in the previous part for theta involves the inverse tangent function:

  theta = arctan(54/x)

Sandy programmed a website’s checkout process with an equation to calculate the amount customers will be charged when they downl
Makovka662 [10]

if one customer shows up, and she buys one song, that's $1.29, if she doesn't buy anymore, then that's the charge.

the first song is always at a full price, and after that, to encourage buying, the next ones are just 99 cents, let's see how it goes after a few songs purchases.

1 song.........................$1.29

2 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(2)

3 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(3)

4 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(4)

c songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(c)

s(c) = 1.29 + 0.99c.

The projectile motion of an object can be modeled using s(t) = gt2 + v0t + s0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

s(t) = -4.9t² + 39.2t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the projectile motion of an object can be modeled using s(t) = gt2 + v0t + s0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is the time in seconds since launch, s(t) is the height after t seconds, v0 is the initial velocity, and s0 is the initial height. The acceleration due to gravity is –4.9 m/s²

Given

g = -4.9m/s²

v0 = 39.2m/s

s0 = 0m (the initial height)

On substituting into the formula;

s(t) = gt² + v0t + s0

s(t) = -4.9t² + 39.2t + 0

s(t) = -4.9t² + 39.2t

This gives the equation that models the height
