Answer:

b = 15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find the interception points of the curves

36 x² = 25

x² = 25/36 = 0.69444

|x| = √(25/36) = 5/6

thus the interception points are 5/6 and -5/6. By evaluating in 0, we can conclude that the curve y=25 is above the other curve and b should be between 0 and 25 (note that 0 is the smallest value of 36 x²).

The area of the bounded region is given by the integral

\int\limits^{5/6}_{-5/6} {(25-36 \, x^2)} \, dx = (25x - 12 \, x^3)\, |_{x=-5/6}^{x=5/6} = 25*5/6 - 12*(5/6)^3 - (25*(-5/6) - 12*(-5/6)^3) = 250/9

The whole region has an area of 250/9. We need b such as the area of the region below the curve y =b and above y=36x^2 is 125/9. The region would be bounded by the points z and -z, for certain z (this is for the symmetry). Also for the symmetry, this region can be splitted into 2 regions with equal area: between -z and 0, and between 0 and z. The area between 0 and z should be 125/18. Note that 36 z² = b, then z = √b/6.

125/18 = \int\limits^{\sqrt{b}/6}_0 {(b - 36 \, x^2)} \, dx = (bx - 12 \, x^3)\, |_{x = 0}^{x=\sqrt{b}/6} = b^{1.5}/6 - b^{1.5}/18 = b^{1.5}/9

125/18 = b^{1.5}/9

b = (62.5²)^{1/3} = 15.75

Kim is watching a space shuttle launch from an observation spot 2 miles away. Find the angle of elevation from Kim to the space
hammer [34]

Answer:

<h2><em>46.4°</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagrammatic representation in the attachment given.

We can see that the diagram is a right angled triangle. To get the angle of elevation, we will use one of the trigonometry identity SOH, CAH, TOA.

Given the adjacent of the triangle to be 2miles (observation spot from the point of launch)and the opposite (side facing the elevation angle) as 2.1miles (the height), we will use TOA.

tan∅ = opposite/adjacent

tan∅ = 2.1/2

tan∅  = 1.05

∅ = tan⁻¹1.05

∅ = 46.4°

<em>Hence the angle of elevation from Kim to the space shuttle, which is at a height of 2.1 miles is approximately 46.4°</em>
