Answer:
The answer to your question is 55 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Person's height = 5 ft
Person's shadow = 10 ft
Tree's height = ?
Tree's shadow = 110 ft
- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem
Person's height / Person's shadow = Tree's height / Tree's shadow
- Substitution
5 / 10 = x / 110
-Solve for x
x = 5 (110) / 10
-Simplification
x = 550 / 10
-Result
x = 55 ft
-Conclusion
The tree is 55 ft height
You divide the numbers by 5 so the fraction will be 5/6
I'll explain how to do the first one:-
y = cos-1(x2)
This can be described as ' a function of a function' x^2 is a function of x and cos-1(x^2) is a function of x^2.
We need to apply the chain rule.
Personally I find this easier to understand if i let u = x^2, so
If y = f(u) and u is a function of x then
dy/dx = dy/ du * du/dx
Here u = x^2 and y = cos-1(u)
du/dx = 2x
so dy/dx = d(cos-1(x^2) dx = dy/du * du/dx
= -1 / √(1 - u^2) * 2x
= -2x / √(1 - u^2)
= -2x / √(1 - (x^2)^2)
= -2x / √(1 - x^4)
I hope this helps. but if not. you might like to employ the formulae in the question - The square boxes contain the 'u' s in my answer. These formulae are equivalent to my explanation.
My answer may not be correct but I feel pretty confident. The answer is $549.08
