Answer:

height of the balloon = 6.32 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The question wants us to find the height of the balloon .

They are observing the balloon from two tracking stations on the ground. The tracking stations are 6 km apart . From Dominic point of view the hair balloon is at an angle of elevation of 72° and from Adriana point of view the elevation is 58° . The illustration forms a triangle containing 2 right angles with a similar height.

To find the height we must find the hypotenuse of one of the right angle triangle. WE are given 2 angle and a side of 6 km. The third angle is 180 - 72 - 58 = 50°.

Using sin rule

6/sin 50° = b/sin 72°

cross multiply

6 sin 72° = b sin 50°

divide both sides by sin 50°

b = 6 sin 72°/sin 50°

b = 6 × 0.95105651629 /0.76604444311

b = 5.70633909777 /0.76604444311

b = 7.44909665372

b ≈ 7.45 km

The height can be found since we know the hypotenuse of one side of one of the right angle triangle.

sin 58° = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 58° = h/7.45

cross multiply

h = 7.45 × sin 58°

h = 7.45 × 0.84804809615

h = 6.31795831637

h ≈ 6.32 km

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

B. 184

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion is an easy way to solve this:

$\frac{100\%}{200} = \frac{92\%}{x} \\ 100x = 92(200) \\ x = 92(2) \\ x = 184$

Answer:

.42n = p

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write ratios to solve

2.52 / 6 = p/n

.42 = p/n

Multiply each side by n

.42n = p

find a function whose second derivative is y''=12x-2 at each point (x,y) on its graph and y=-x+5 is tangent to the graph at the

pogonyaev

Start by integrating y'' twice to get function y(x).

$y' = \int (12x - 2) dx = 6x^2 -2x + c \\ \\ y = \int (6x^2 -2x+c )dx= 2x^3-x^2 +cx+d$

Next find value of coefficients 'c' and 'd' using the given tangent line
The slope of tangent line is equal to y' when x=1.

$6x^2 -2x+c = -1, x = 1 \\ \\ 6-2+c = -1 \\ \\ c = -5$

The tangent line intersects the curve y(x) when x = 1.
If x = 1, then y = 4 (From y =-x+5)

$y = 2x^3 -x^2-5x +d , x = 1, y = 4 \\ \\ 2-1-5+d = 4 \\ \\ d = 8$

Final Answer:
$y = 2x^3 -x^2 -5x+8$

A tank contains 30 lb of salt dissolved in 300 gallons of water. a brine solution is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min

sesenic [268]

$A'(t)=(\text{flow rate in})(\text{inflow concentration})-(\text{flow rate out})(\text{outflow concentration})$
$\implies A'(t)=\dfrac{3\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}\cdot\left(2+\sin\dfrac t4\right)\dfrac{\text{lb}}{\text{gal}}-\dfrac{3\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}\cdot\dfrac{A(t)\text{ lb}}{300+(3-3)t\text{ gal}}$
$A'(t)+\dfrac1{100}A(t)=6+3\sin\dfrac t4$

We're given that $A(0)=30$ . Multiply both sides by the integrating factor $e^{t/100}$ , then

$e^{t/100}A'(t)+\dfrac1{100}e^{t/100}A(t)=6e^{t/100}+3e^{t/100}\sin\dfrac t4$
$\left(e^{t/100}A(t)\right)'=6e^{t/100}+3e^{t/100}\sin\dfrac t4$
$e^{t/100}A(t)=600e^{t/100}-\dfrac{150}{313}e^{t/100}\left(25\cos\dfrac t4-\sin\dfrac t4\right)+C$
$A(t)=600-\dfrac{150}{313}\left(25\cos\dfrac t4-\sin\dfrac t4\right)+Ce^{-t/100}$

Given that $A(0)=30$ , we have

$30=600-\dfrac{150}{313}\cdot25+C\implies C=-\dfrac{174660}{313}\approx-558.02$

so the amount of salt in the tank at time $t$ is

$A(t)\approx600-\dfrac{150}{313}\left(25\cos\dfrac t4-\sin\dfrac t4\right)-558.02e^{-t/100}$
