At sea, the distance D to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation E of the observer. If a perso

n who is 36 feet above the water can see 7.4 miles, find how far a person 49 feet above the water can see.

<span>The problem says that the distance D to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation E of the observer, so:
</span>
 The person who is 36 feet above the water ⇒ √36=6 

 A person 49 feet above the water ⇒ √49=7
<span>
 So, by proportions, you have:

 (7/6)x7.4= 8.63 miles

 Therefore, the answer is: </span><span>a person 49 feet above the water can see 8.63 miles</span><span> </span>

1. the sum of two rational numbers is always always a (irrational number / rational number)
Blizzard [7]

One

The sum of two rational numbers is always rational. sqrt(9) + sqrt(25) = 3 + 5 which is rational. sqrt(16/100) = 4/10 = 2/5 is also rational. 3/28 is rational as well.

Two

Those are irrational. sqrt(10) + pi = ???? You cannot reduce this to any kind of fraction. Two irrationals always give a rational.

Three

The irrational number controls the answer. 10 + sqrt(5) is irrational. The 10 is OK. It is raional, but sqrt(5) is not a rational number.

What is the amplitude of sin ?
sp2606 [1]

You haven't provided a graph or equation so I will tell the simplified meaning of amplitude instead.

Amplitude, is basically a distance from midline/baseline to the maximum or minimum point.

For sine function, can be written as:

\displaystyle \large{ y = A \sin(bx  -  c) + d}

  • A = amplitude
  • b = period = 2π/b
  • c = horizontal shift
  • d = vertical shift

I am not able to provide an attachment for an easy view but I will try my best!

We know that amplitude or A is a distance from baseline/midline to the max-min point.

Let's see the example of equation:

\displaystyle \large{y = 2 \sin x}

Refer to the equation above:

  • Amplitude = 2
  • b = 1 and therefore, period = 2π/1 = 2π
  • c = 0
  • d = 0

Thus, the baseline or midline is y = 0 or x-axis.

You can also plot the graph on desmos, y = 2sinx and you will see that the sine graph has max points at 2 and min points at = -2. They are amplitude.

So to conclude or say this:

If Amplitude = A from y = Asin(x), then the range of function will always be -A ≤ y ≤ A and have max points at A; min points at -A.
