A camera is mounted at a point 4000 feet away from a geyser. If the water is rising vertically at 900 ft/s when it is 3000 feet

above the ground, how fast must the camera angle of elevation change (in degrees per second) at that instant to keep the top of the water in the frame?

Answer:

\dot \theta = 0.144\,\frac{rad}{s}, \dot \theta = 8.251\,\frac{deg}{s} (Option B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric diagram is included herein as attachment. The expression is presented below:

\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}

Where:

x - Horizontal distance between the geyser and the camera.

y - Vertical distance between the geyser and the camera.

The rate of change in terms of time is:

\dot \theta \cdot \sec^{2}\theta = \frac{\dot y\cdot x-y\cdot \dot x}{x^{2}}

\dot \theta  \cdot \left(\frac{1}{\cos^{2}\theta} \right) = \frac{\dot y \cdot x - y\cdot \dot x}{x^{2}}

\dot \theta = \left(\frac{\dot y \cdot x - y \cdot \dot x}{x^{2}} \right)\cdot \cos^{2}\theta

\dot \theta = \left(\frac{\dot y \cdot x - y\cdot \dot x}{x^{2}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}} \right)

\dot \theta = \frac{\dot y \cdot x - y\cdot \dot x}{x^{2}+y^{2}}

Finally,

\dot \theta = \frac{\left(900\,\frac{ft}{s} \right)\cdot (4000\,ft)-(3000\,ft)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{ft}{s} \right)}{(4000\,ft)^{2}+(3000\,ft)^{2}}

\dot \theta = 0.144\,\frac{rad}{s}

\dot \theta = 8.251\,\frac{deg}{s}

On my sister's 15th birthday, she was 159 cm in height, having grown 6% since the year before. How tall was she the previous yea
Zarrin [17]
It means that her height in this year is 106\%x in regards to the last year, where x is her height in last year, so:

159=106\%x

159=\frac{106}{100}x

159=\frac{53}{50}x

159*50=53x

159*50=53x

7950=53x

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

a) In the first season, there were 25.450 million viewers.

b) In the fourth season, the number of viewers was 11.950 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The average number of viewers in season t is given by the following function:

f(t) = 32.744 e^{-0.252t}

a) To obtain the average number of viewers in season 1, we have to evaluate the function at t = 1:

f(1) = 32.744e^{-0.252 (1)} = 25.450

In the first season, there were 25.450 million viewers.

b) Now we have to evaluate the function at t = 4:

f(4) = 32.744e^{-0.252(4)} = 11.950

In the fourth season, the number of viewers was 11.950 million.
