To measure a stone face carved on the side of a​ mountain, two sightings 900 feet from the base of the mountain are taken. If th

e angle of elevation to the bottom of the face is 31degrees and the angle of elevation to the top is 34degrees​, what is the height of the stone​ face?

Answer:

Height of the stone​ face = 66.29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the given figure, here we need to find height of the stone​ face,

Height of the stone​ face = CD

CD = AD - AC

In ΔABC we have

             tan31=\frac{AC}{AB}\\\\tan31=\frac{AC}{900}\\\\AC=540.77feet

In ΔABD we have

             tan34=\frac{AD}{AB}\\\\tan34=\frac{AD}{900}\\\\AD=607.06feet

CD = AD - AC = 607.06 - 540.77 = 66.29 feet

Height of the stone​ face = CD = 66.29 feet

A whole number that would support Cindys claim would be 2 because if u do the ,math it would be 8/24 which would be .333 repeating which is simplify to 1/3 and i do not know a number that would not work

Consider the following.3x + 3y = 8(a) Find y' by implicit differentiation.(b) Solve the equation explicitly for y and differenti
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a.y'=-1

b.y'=-1

c.Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that consider a function

3x+3y=8

Implicit function: That function is a relation in which dependent variable can not be expressed in terms of independent variable

Explicit function: It is that function in which dependent variable can be expressed in terms of independent variable.

a.3x+3y=8

Differentiate w.r.t x then we get

3+3\frac{dy}{dx}=0

3\frac{dy}{dx}=-3

\frac{dy}[dx}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1

\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=-1

b.3x+3y=8

3y=8-3x

y=\frac{8-3x}{3}

Differentiate w.r.t x then we get

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1

\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=-1

When we substituting the value of y obtained from part b into a solution of part a then we get

y'=-1

Hence, solutions are consistent.

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y + 3z = 12

z=\frac{12-x-2y}{3}

Volume = V=f(x,y) = xy(\frac{12-x-2y}{3} )

find partial derivatives using product rule

f_x =\frac{y}{3} (12-2x-2y)\\f_y = \frac{x}{3} (12-x-4y)

i.e.

Using maximum for partial derivatives, we equate first partial derivative to 0.

y=0 or x+y =6

x=0 or x+4y =12

Simplify to get y =2, x = 4

thus critical points are (4,2) (6,0) (0,3)

Of these D the II derivative test gives

D<0 only for (4,2)

Hence maximum volume is when x=4, y=2, z= 4/3

Max volume is = 4(2)(4/3) = 32/3
