Answer:

The answer is a

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from the near end of the runway to the plane, divided by the altitude is the tangent of (90 degrees minus the angle of depression). Let "d1" be the distance to the near end of the runway, and "d2" be the distance to the far end of the runway. Let "a" be the altitude of the plane.


d1/a = tan(90 - 31)


d1 = a*tan(90 - 31)


d2/a = tan(90 - 23)


d2 = a*tan(90 - 23)


runway length = d2 - d1 = a*(tan(67) - tan(59))


length = 1800*(.6916) = 1245m = 1.2km


the answer is "a"

What are the domain and range of f(x) = 2x - 41?
Darina [25.2K]

The domain of the function is a (-∞, 0) and the range of the function will be f(x) < 0. Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What are domain and range?</h3>

The domain means all the possible values of x and the range means all the possible values of y.

The function is given below.

f(x) = 2x – 41

Then the domain of the function is a (-∞, 0) and the range of the function will be f(x) < 0.

Then the correct option is C.

More about the domain and range link is given below.
