One side of a right triangle is known to be 36 cm long and the opposite angle is measured as 30°, with a possible error of ±1°.

Answer:

  ±2.18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of the sine of an angle (θ) is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Then the hypotenuse (h) is found from ...

  h = Opposite/sin(θ)

Differentiating with respect to θ gives ...

  dh/dθ = Opposite×(-cos(θ)/sin²(θ))

For the given numbers, this is ...

  dh/dθ = (36 cm)×(-√3/2)/(1/2)² = -72√3 cm/radian

The error of ±1° corresponds to ±π/180 radians, so the error is estimated to be ...

  error = (dh/dθ)Δθ = (-72√3 cm/radian)(±π/180 radians) = ±0.4π√3 cm

  error = ±2.18 cm

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If we insert the original coordinates into the problem, we will find the answer.

(2+2, 1-5)

so, once solved

(4, -4)

remember, adding to X means moving the point right, subtracting to X means moving left.

Adding to Y means moving the point up, subtracting to Y means moving down.

Texas University Quarterback, Michael Daniels, is standing on his own 10-yard line. He throws a pass tword the opposite goal lin
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: The function is y=-\frac{28}{625}(x-35)^2+30.

Explanation:

It is given that Michael Daniels, is standing on his own 10-yard line. He throws a pass toward the opposite goal line. The football is 2 yards above the ground when the quarterback lets it go.

It follows a parabolic path. Reaching its highest point, 30 yards above the ground. It is caught 50 yards downfield at a point 2 yards above the ground.

So, the initial point is (10,2) and the other point is (60,2).

The height function of a football represents a downward parabola. The maximum point of the function is called vertex. So the vertex is (h,30).

The two point (10,2) and (60,2) have same y-coordinate, therefore the function is maximum at the midpoint of both points.

midpoint=(\frac{10+60}{2}, \frac{2+2}{2})=(35,2)

So, the function is maximum at x=35. Hence the vertex is (35,30)

The standard form of the parabola is,

y=a(x-h)^2+k

Where (h,k) is vertex and a is scale factor.

Since vertex is (35,30).

y=a(x-35)^2+30

The initial point is (10,2).

2=a(10-35)^2+30

-28=625a

a=-\frac{28}{625}

So the function of height is.

y=-\frac{28}{625}(x-35)^2+30

The graph of the function is shown below.
