Answer:

10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

|x+3|=4x-7

So |-(x+3)|=|x+3|

We are going to try out two cases:

-(x+3)=4x-7 and x+3=4x-7

-x-3=4x-7 3=3x-7

-3=5x-7 10=3x

4=5x x=10/3

x=4/5

We are going to test out both because we could something that isn't actually a solution, this is called extraneous.

First thing I'm going to check is 4x-7 for it being positive.

4(4/5)-7=20/5-7=-15/5=-3 so 4/5 will not work because absolute value result can't be negative

4(10/3)-7=40/3-7=19/3 which is positive

checking |x+3| to see if is 19/3 for x=10/3 we see that is so that is the answer

In order to safely land, the angle that a plane approaches the runway should be no more than 15°. A plane is approaching Ottawa

Answer:

9.5°, yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The distance opposite the angle of elevation is the plane's height, 500 m. The distance adjacent to the angle of elevation is the horizontal distance to the plane, 3 km = 3000 m. Then the angle is found from ...

tan(α) = 500/3000 = 1/6

α = arctan(1/6) ≈ 9.46°

The plane is approaching at an angle of 9.46°. It is safe to land, since that angle is less than 15°.

Additional comment

The usual descent angle for most commercial air traffic is 3°. Some airport geography demands it be different (steeper). A higher descent angle can put undue stress on the landing gear.
