While taking a ride in a hot-air balloon in Napa Valley, Francisco wonders how high he is. To find out, he chooses a landmark th

at is to the east of the balloon and measures the angle of depression to be 54 degrees. A few minutes later, after traveling 100 feet east, the angle of depression to the same landmark is determined to be 61 degrees. Find the height of the balloon.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

sin 54 degrees = Height/718.0624

Height = (sin 54 degrees)(718.0624) = 580.9 ft

So the height of the balloon is 580.9 ft. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Answer: Height of the balloon is 588.23 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we we have given that

Angle of depression at the landmark to the east of the balloon = 54°

Angle of depression at the landmark to the east of the balloon after travelling 100 feet = 61°

Distance = 100 feet

As we know the formula:

H=\dfrac{d}{\cot x-\cot y}\\\\H=\dfrac{100}{\cot 54^\circ-\cot 61^\circ}\\\\H=\dfrac{100}{0.72-0.55}\\\\H=\dfrac{100}{0.17}\\\\H=588.23\ feet

Hence, Height of the balloon is 588.23 feet.

On a coordinate plane, parallelogram H I J K is shown. Point H is at (negative 2, 2), point I is at (4, 3), point J is at (4, ne
Mrrafil [7]
<h3>Answer:  Choice C.   (1,0)</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

Point H is at (-2,2) and J is at (4,-2)

Focusing on the x coordinates, the midpoint is (x1+x2)/2 = (-2+4)/2 = 1.

The y coordinates have a midpoint of (y1+y2)/2 = (2+(-2))/2 = 0.

The midpoint is at (1,0). That's why the answer is choice C.

--------------------------

This next section is optional.

Points I and K are located at (4,3) and (-2,-3) respectively

Averaging the x coordinates gets us (x1+x2)/2 = (4+(-2))/2 = 1

Doing the same for the y coordinates gets us (y1+y2)/2 = (3+(-3))/2 = 0

We end up with the same midpoint (1,0)

The midpoint being the same for both diagonals proves that each diagonal is bisected, ie cut in half.

Answer:

\large\boxed{Q2.\qquad C.\ -2x+y=-2}\\\boxed{Q4.\qquad C.\ y=3x+12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Q2:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (4, 6) and (6, 10). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{10-6}{6-4}=\dfrac{4}{2}=2

y-6=2(x-4)           <em>use distributive property</em>

y-6=2x-8      <em>add 6 to both sides</em>

y=2x-2          <em>subteact 2 from both sides</em>

-2x+y=-2

Q4:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Put the slope m = 3 and the coordinateso f the point (-2, 6) to the point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-6=3(x-(-2))

y-6=3(x+2)         <em>use distributive property</em>

y-6=3x+6     <em>add 6 to both sides</em>

y=3x+12

Valentin [98]

Answer: (a) e ^ -3x (b)e^-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

I suggest the equation is:

d/dx[integral (e^-3t) dt

First we integrate e^-3tdt

Integral(e ^ -3t dt) as shown in attachment and then we differentiate the result as shown in the attachment.

(b) to differentiate the integral let x = t, and substitute into the expression.

Therefore dx = dt

Hence, d/dx[integral (e ^-3x dx)] = e^-3x
