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

Neko [114]

Answer:

  (8.49; 225°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle is a 3rd-quadrant angle. The reference angle will be ...

  arctan(-6/-6) = 45°

In the 3rd quadrant, the angle is 45° +180° = 225°.

The magnitude of the vector to the point is its distance from the origin:

  √((-6)² +(-6)²) = √(6²·2) = 6√2 ≈ 8.4859 ≈ 8.49

The polar coordinates can be written as (8.49; 225°).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

My preferred form for the polar coordinates is 8.49∠225°. Most authors use some sort of notation with parentheses. If parentheses are used, I prefer a semicolon between the coordinate values so they don't get confused with an (x, y) ordered pair that uses a comma. You need to use the coordinate format that is consistent with your curriculum materials.

Find the particular solution to y ' = 4sin(x) given the general solution is y = c - 4cos(x) and the initial condition y of pi ov
Lana71 [14]

The general solutions always have some additive/multiplicative constant, that you must fix in the particular solution.

In order to do so, you need to impose that the particular solution passes through a certain point. In your case, you have

y(x) = c-4\cos(x)

and you want

y\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = 2

Put everything together, and you have

y\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = c-4\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = c = 2

Since the cosine is zero in the chosen point. So, we've fixed the value of the constant, and the particular solution is found:

y(x) = 2-4\cos(x)

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=9, that passes through the point (3,-8)
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation is parallel to y = 9, the you already know that the equation must be y = some value. It passes through the point (3,-8). Just put that y value into the equation to get y = -8
