Answer:

2.3 degrees.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We are told that an airplane must clear a 60-foot pole at the end of a runway 500 yards long.

Let us convert 500 yards to feet.

1 yard= 3 feet.

500 yards= 3*500 feet= 1500 feet.

We can see from our attachment pole and runway are in form of a right triangle. The pole is opposite to angle of elevation of plane and length of runway is adjacent.

Since tangent represents the relation between opposite and adjacent of right triangle, So we will use tangent to find angle of elevation that plane must ascend to clear the pole.  

tan(\theta)=\frac{60}{1500}    

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{60}{1500} )

\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.04)

\theta=2.290610042639

Therefore, the airplane must ascend 2.3 degrees to clear the pole.

The inverse variation equation shows the relationship between wavelength in meters, x, and frequency, y.
Dmitrij [34]
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is expressed by the equation λν=c where λ is the wavelength, v is the frequency and c is the speed of light which has a value of 3x10^8 m/s.

 λν=c
 λ(3 × 10^9)= 3x10^8
 λ = 0.1 m

Hope this answers the question.

Which of the following best describes the equation y= -2/7x +12
Lady bird [3.3K]
Linear, because the graph of the line is just a straight line without any curves, and the power of x is 1. If x was raised to the second, third, fourth, etc. power, it would be a nonlinear equation.
