(1) See below for a diagram. Basically, the distance on the ground from the person to the building (34 ft) is adjacent to the angle of elevation (74 degrees) and the height of the building (labeled h in the diagram) is the side opposite the angle. Since we are dealing with opposite and adjacent we use the tangent of the angle and tan = opp/adj

Specifically, $tan74= \frac{h}{34}$
$h=(34)(tan74)$ 
$h=118.6$ feet.

Please be sure your calculator is set to degrees (not radians) when you do this problem.

(2) Here since P & Q are complimentary it means that their sum is 90 degrees. Since this is a right triangle that means that the remaining angle (R) must be the right angle. See below for a diagram.

sin = opp/hyp. As the sin Q = 9/41 this means that 9 is the length of the side opposite Q (the side PR) and 41 is the length of the hypotenuse. This makes the remaining side (QR) 40 in length.

cos = adj/hyp. If we focus on angle P the side adjacent (next to) is 9 and the hypotenuse is 41. Thus the cos of P = 9/41.

You could have also realized that if P & Q are complimentary the sin P = cos Q and the cos P = sin Q. We were not asked about tangent but it is also the case that tan P = cot Q and cot P = tan Q.

At what point does the curve have maximum curvature? Y = 4ex (x, y) = what happens to the curvature as x → ∞? Κ(x) approaches as

MAXImum [283]

Answer-

At $x= \frac{1}{2304e^4-16e^2}$ the curve has maximum curvature.

Solution-

The formula for curvature =

$K(x)=\frac{{y}''}{(1+({y}')^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Here,

$y=4e^{x}$

Then,

${y}' = 4e^{x} \ and \ {y}''=4e^{x}$

Putting the values,

$K(x)=\frac{{4e^{x}}}{(1+(4e^{x})^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}} = \frac{{4e^{x}}}{(1+16e^{2x})^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Now, in order to get the max curvature value, we have to calculate the first derivative of this function and then to get where its value is max, we have to equate it to 0.

${k}'(x) = \frac{(1+16e^{2x})^{\frac{3}{2} } (4e^{x})-(4e^{x})(\frac{3}{2}(1+e^{2x})^{\frac{1}{2}})(32e^{2x})}{(1+16e^{2x} )^{2}}$
