Answer: Choice D, -5x^3 + 8

A binomial consists of two terms being added or subtracted. The two terms are -5x^3 and 8. The term -5x^3 has a leading coefficient -5 and exponent 3. The largest exponent determines the degree of the polynomial. The 8 is constant as there are no variables attached or multiplying with it.

If 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90° and cosθ = 11/15 , what is the value of sin (90° - θ)?

igor_vitrenko [27]

$11/15=0.7333$
$cos^{-1}(0.7333) =42.83342$
$sin(90-47.166572) = 0.7333$

first, find the numeric value for 11/15
second to find theta, simply do the <em>inverse</em> cos (which is cos^-1) of the first answer.
now you know theta, just do the sin of 90 - theta and that's it!

since you know whatr cos(theta) is, you just take the inverse cos of that number to get theta and 'reverse' cos, essentially. you are just solving for theta, by reversing the cos function with cos^-1

You are a lifeguard and spot a drowning child 60 meters along the shore and 40 meters from the shore to the child. You run along

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The lifeguard should run across the shore a distance of 48.074 m before jumpng into the water in order to minimize the time to reach the child.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of optimization.

We have to minimize the time it takes for the lifeguard to reach the child.

The time can be calculated by dividing the distance by the speed for each section.

The distance in the shore and in the water depends on when the lifeguard gets in the water. We use the variable x to model this, as seen in the picture attached.

Then, the distance in the shore is d_b=x and the distance swimming can be calculated using the Pithagorean theorem:

$d_s^2=(60-x)^2+40^2=60^2-120x+x^2+40^2=x^2-120x+5200\\\\d_s=\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}$

Then, the time (speed divided by distance) is:

$t=d_b/v_b+d_s/v_s\\\\t=x/4+\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}/1.1$

To optimize this function we have to derive and equal to zero:

$\dfrac{dt}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{1.1}(\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{2x-120}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} \\\\\\\dfrac{dt}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{4} +\dfrac{1}{1.1} \dfrac{x-60}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} =0\\\\\\ \dfrac{x-60}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} =\dfrac{1.1}{4}=\dfrac{2}{7}\\\\\\ x-60=\dfrac{2}{7}\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}\\\\\\(x-60)^2=\dfrac{2^2}{7^2}(x^2-120x+5200)\\\\\\(x-60)^2=\dfrac{4}{49}[(x-60)^2+40^2]\\\\\\(1-4/49)(x-60)^2=4*40^2/49=6400/49\\\\(45/49)(x-60)^2=6400/49\\\\45(x-60)^2=6400\\\\$

$x$

As $d_b=x$ , the lifeguard should run across the shore a distance of 48.074 m before jumpng into the water in order to minimize the time to reach the child.
