The angle of elevation from a viewer to the center of a fireworks display is 55°. If the viewer is 75 yards away from where the

fireworks are launched, at what height is the center of the display? Round to the nearest whole yard

Answer:

107.1075 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can imagine a triangle, where one of the angles is 55 degrees, the adjacent cathetus is 75 yards, and we want to know the opposite cathetus (the height of the center of the display, "h").

The relation between opposite and adjacent cathetus is the tangent, so:

tan(55) = h/75

tan(55) = 1.4281, so:

h/75 = 1.4281

h = 75*1.4281 = 107.1075 yards

The mass of Earth is about 6 X 1024

storchak [24]

Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

To do "how many times greater" problems, you divide. Think how you would answer this: How many times greater is 48 than 6? Dividing the larger 48 by the smaller 6 gives 8. 48 is 8 times greater than 6.

Do the same thing for these two masses.

6 x 10^24 divided by 7.4 x 10^22 is about 81.

Adi used algebra tiles to represent the product (negative 2 x minus 1)(2 x minus 1).

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

She did not represent the two original factors correctly on the headers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adi algebra tiles representation is shown in the figure attached.

She made a mistake when she represented -2x-1 with two negative tiles in the top header , so, the representation in the header is not correct.

can someone show me how to find the general solution of the differential equations? really need to know how to do it for the upc

mariarad [96]

The first equation is linear:

$x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}-y=x^2\sin x$

Divide through by $x^2$ to get

$\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}-\dfrac1{x^2}y=\sin x$

and notice that the left hand side can be consolidated as a derivative of a product. After doing so, you can integrate both sides and solve for $y$ .

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1xy\right]=\sin x$
$\implies\dfrac1xy=\displaystyle\int\sin x\,\mathrm dx=-\cos x+C$
$\implies y=-x\cos x+Cx$

- - -

The second equation is also linear:

$x^2y'+x(x+2)y=e^x$

Multiply both sides by $e^x$ to get

$x^2e^xy'+x(x+2)e^xy=e^{2x}$

and recall that $(x^2e^x)'=2xe^x+x^2e^x=x(x+2)e^x$ , so we can write

$(x^2e^xy)'=e^{2x}$
$\implies x^2e^xy=\displaystyle\int e^{2x}\,\mathrm dx=\frac12e^{2x}+C$
$\implies y=\dfrac{e^x}{2x^2}+\dfrac C{x^2e^x}$

- - -

Yet another linear ODE:

$\cos x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\sin x\,y=1$

Divide through by $\cos^2x$ , giving

$\dfrac1{\cos x}\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos^2x}y=\dfrac1{\cos^2x}$
$\sec x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\sec x\tan x\,y=\sec^2x$
$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}[\sec x\,y]=\sec^2x$
$\implies\sec x\,y=\displaystyle\int\sec^2x\,\mathrm dx=\tan x+C$
$\implies y=\cos x\tan x+C\cos x$
$y=\sin x+C\cos x$

- - -

In case the steps where we multiply or divide through by a certain factor weren't clear enough, those steps follow from the procedure for finding an integrating factor. We start with the linear equation

$a(x)y'(x)+b(x)y(x)=c(x)$

then rewrite it as

$y'(x)=\dfrac{b(x)}{a(x)}y(x)=\dfrac{c(x)}{a(x)}\iff y'(x)+P(x)y(x)=Q(x)$

The integrating factor is a function $\mu(x)$ such that

$\mu(x)y'(x)+\mu(x)P(x)y(x)=(\mu(x)y(x))'$

which requires that

$\mu(x)P(x)=\mu'(x)$

This is a separable ODE, so solving for $\mu$ we have

$\mu(x)P(x)=\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu(x)}{\mathrm dx}\iff\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu(x)}{\mu(x)}=P(x)\,\mathrm dx$
$\implies\ln|\mu(x)|=\displaystyle\int P(x)\,\mathrm dx$
$\implies\mu(x)=\exp\left(\displaystyle\int P(x)\,\mathrm dx\right)$

and so on.
