Mariulka [41]

Answer:

When fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

When fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

When fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at $(\frac{35}{2},0)$

When fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)

Explanation:

All of the parts of the problem are solved in the same way, so let's start with the first point (1,3).

Let's assume that the rocket's trajectory will be a straight line, so what we need to do here is to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane and then find the x-intercept of such a line.

In order to find the line tangent to the graph of the trajectory of the airplane, we need to start by finding the derivative of such a function:

$y=2+\frac{1}{x}$

$y=2+x^{-1}$

$y'=-x^{-2}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=1, so:

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{(1)^{2}}$

m=y'=-1

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-3=-1(x-1})$

$y-3=-1x+1$

$y=-x+1+3$

$y=-x+4$

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

$-x+4=0$

and solve for x

x=4

so, when fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2, 2.5)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2, so:

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{(2)^{2}}$

$m=y'=-\frac{1}{4}$

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2})$

$y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}$

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{5}{2}$

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+3$

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

$-\frac{1}{4}x+3=0$

and solve for x

x=12

so, when fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2.5, 2.4)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2.5, so:

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{(2.5)^{2}}$

$m=y'=-\frac{4}{25}$

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}(x-2.5})$

$y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}$

$y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}+2.4$

$y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}$

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

$-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}=0$

and solve for x

$x=\frac{35}{20}$

so, when fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at $(\frac{35}{2},0)$

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (4, 2.25)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=4, so:

$y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

$y'=-\frac{1}{(4)^{2}}$

$m=y'=-\frac{1}{16}$

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}(x-4})$

$y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}$

$y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}+2.25$

$y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}$

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

$-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}=0$

and solve for x

$x=40$

so, when fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)

Describe the difference between a transverse wave and longitudinal wave. Include the parts that you would find on a transverse w

spayn [35]

A transverse wave is a moving wave in which the current is perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation. A longitudinal wave are waves in which the displacement of the median is in the direction of the propagation.
Example:
Transverse- pond ripple
Longitudinal- crest and troff
