Max observes the zoo and the library from a helicopter flying at a height of 400 times square root of 3 feet above the ground, a

s shown below: A helicopter is flying at a height of 400 multiplied by square root of 3 feet above the ground. A zoo and a library are on the ground on the same side of the helicopter. The angle made by the line joining the helicopter and the zoo with the ground is 60 degrees. The angle made by the line joining the helicopter and the library with the ground is 30 degrees. What is the distance between the zoo and the library?

Answer: First option: 800 feet

Solution:

Height: h=400 sqrt(3)

Distance between the zoo and the point in the ground below the helicopter: d1=?

Distance between the library and the point in the ground below the helicopter: d2=?

Distance between the zoo and the library: d=?

d=d2-d1


tan 60°= h/d1

sqrt(3)=400 sqrt(3) / d1

Solving for d1:

sqrt(3) d1 = 400 sqrt(3)

d1= 400 sqrt(3) / sqrt(3)

d1=400


tan 30°= h/d2

sqrt(3) / 3=400 sqrt(3) / d2

Solving for d2: Cross multiplication:

sqrt(3) d2 = 3 [ 400 sqrt(3) ]

sqrt(3) d2 = 1,200 sqrt(3)

d2= 1,200 sqrt(3) / sqrt(3)

d2=1,200


d=d2-d1

d=1,200 feet - 400 feet

d=800 feet

<u>Answer:</u>

800 ft

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that the helicopter is flying 400\sqrt{3} feet above the ground.

A zoo and the library are on the same side of the helicopter, each making an angle of 60° and 30° respectively on the line joining the helicopter with the ground.

So we know it makes a right angled triangle with two different angles at the same side and a perpendicular of  400\sqrt{3}.

Assuming x to be the distance from helicopter to the library on the ground and y to the distance from helicopter to the zoo on the ground:

tan 30° =\frac{400\sqrt{3} }{x}

x = 1200 ft

tan 60° = \frac{400\sqrt{3} }{y}

y= 400 ft

Distance between the zoo and the library =  x - y = 1200 - 400 = 800 ft

the ratio of apples to oranges in a fruit basket is 12:4 if there are 7 oranges in the fruit basket then how many apples and ora
Ugo [173]
Just simple proportions:

12(apples)          x(apples)
--------------   =   --------------
4(oranges)        7(oranges)

12*7 = 84
84/4 = 21

There are 21 apples + 7 oranges = 28 apples and oranges!

Find the axis of symmetry and the vertex and graph the following: f(x)=(x+2)(x-4)
algol [13]

something noteworthy is that the independent and squared variable in this case will be the "x", namely the graph of that quadratic is a vertical parabola.

\bf f(x) = (x+2)(x-4)\implies 0=(x+2)(x-4)\implies x = \begin{cases} -2\\ 4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ \boxed{-2}\rule[0.35em]{7em}{0.25pt}0\rule[0.35em]{3em}{0.25pt}\stackrel{\downarrow }{1}\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{4}

so the parabola has solutions at x = -2 and x = 4, and its vertex will be half-way between those two guys, namely at x = 1.

since this is a vertical parabola, its axis of symmetry, the line that splits its into twin sides, will be a vertical line, and it'll be the x-coordinate of the vertex, since the vertex hasa a coordinate of x = 1, then the axis of symmetry is the vertical line of x = 1.

F(x)=-3/5x+k and if f(30)=-11 what is the value of k
Kruka [31]

Answer:

k=20.

Explanation: First we find where f(x) has its local extrema: f'(x)=3x2−10x+3. The critical points are roots of the equation: 3x2−10x+3=0.
