Answer:
5507.79 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the height of the mountain, we can draw triangles as in the image attached.
Let's call the height of the mountain 'h', and the distance from the first point (31 degrees) to the mountain 'x'.
Then, we can use the tangent relation of the angles:
tan(34) = h/x
tan(31) = h/(x+1000)
tan(31) is equal to 0.6009, and tan(34) is equal to 0.6745, so:
h/x = 0.6745 -> x = h/0.6745
using this value of x in the second equation:
h/(x+1000) = 0.6009
h/(h/0.6745 + 1000) = 0.6009
h = 0.6009 * (h/0.6745 + 1000)
h = 0.8909*h + 600.9
0.1091h = 600.9
h = 600.9 / 0.1091 = 5507.79 feet
Answer:
A. -2sin(x)sin(0.4x)
Step-by-step explanation:
At x=0, the given expression evaluates to zero.
For x near zero, the given expression is slightly negative. You know this because cos(1.4x) decreases faster than cos(0.6x), so their difference will be negative.
Of the answer choices, you can eliminate C and D because they are not zero at x=0. You can eliminate choice B, because it is positive for values of x near zero. The only viable choice is A:
-2sin(x)sin(0.4x)
___
Of course, a graphing calculator can help you figure this out. See the attachment. The given expression is plotted using a solid red line; the answer choice A is plotted using blue dots.
