The answer should be -192. I could explain in the comments if you would like. :)
Answer:
404.98 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of depression is 5°
The horizontal distance from the airplane to the atoll is 4629 meters.
We need to find the height of the plane.
If we consider a triangle. 4629 meters will be the base and angle is 5°. Let h is the height of the plane. Using trigonometry to find it :
So, the height of the plane is 404.98 m.
Mabye try making the triangle a right triangle and use SohCahToa (sin, cos, tan) to figure out each angle?
Every function is a rule which tells you how to associate inputs and outputs. The input, also known as independent variable, is often indicated with the letter , while the output, also known as dependent variable, is often indicated with the letter .
With this notation, we write , read "y is a function of x", in the sense that the value of the variable y depends on the value of the variable x, and f is the function that tells you how y depends on x.
In your example, you have , which means "subtract four times the input (4x) from 2"
So, it doesn't matter which input you chose (i.e. the value for x), because you will always have to behave this way:
- Pick an input value, x
- Multiply it by four to get 4x
- Subtract this number from 2: 2-4x
Here are some examples of explicit calculations: if I choose and input, the workflow will be
- Pick an input value, 2
- Multiply it by four to get 8
- Subtract this number from 2: 2-8=-6
So, if the input is 2, the output is -6
Similarly, if we choose as input, we have:
- Pick an input value, 0
- Multiply it by four to get 0
- Subtract this number from 2: 2-0=2
So, if the input is 0, the output is 2. And so on: for every possible value for x you have the correspondant value for y, with the function f telling you how to associate one with the other.
The answer would be A. 344000 and H=6 :)
