A parachutist falls at a speed of about 12 miles per hour. Find this speed in feet per second

Mathematics

So in 1 hour, the parachutist will fall 12 miles or
12 mi/1hour

convert
1 hour=60 mins
1 min=60 seconds
1 hour=60 times 60 seconds=360 seconds
12 miles per 360 seconds


convert miles to feet
5280 feet per mile
12 miles times 5280=63360 feet

63360/360
do the math and simplify
63360/360=6336/36=176

176 feet per second

Find the EXACT value of sin(A−B) if cos A = 3/5 where A is in Quadrant IV and cos B = 12/13 where B is in Quadrant IV. Assume al
MissTica

\bf \textit{Sum and Difference Identities} \\\\ sin(\alpha - \beta)=sin(\alpha)cos(\beta)- cos(\alpha)sin(\beta)

well, for both angles A and B we're on the IV Quadrant, meaning, the sine is negative, the cosine is positive, likewise, the opposite side is negative and the adjacent side for the angle is positive.

\bf cos(A)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{3}}{\underset{hypotenuse}{5}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{getting the opposite side}}{b=\pm\sqrt{5^2-3^2}}\implies b = \pm 4 \\\\\\ \stackrel{IV~Quadrant}{b = -4}\qquad \qquad sin(A)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-4}}{\underset{hypotenuse}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ cos(B)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{12}}{\underset{hypotenuse}{13}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{getting the opposite side}}{b=\pm\sqrt{13^2-12^2}}\implies b = \pm 5

\bf \stackrel{IV~Quadrant}{b = -5}\qquad \qquad sin(B)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-5}}{\underset{hypotenuse}{13}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ sin(A-B)=\cfrac{-4}{5}\cdot \cfrac{12}{13}-\left( \cfrac{3}{5}\cdot \cfrac{-5}{13} \right)\implies sin(A-B)=\cfrac{-48}{65} - \left( \cfrac{-15}{65} \right) \\\\\\ sin(A-B)=\cfrac{-48}{65} + \cfrac{15}{65}\implies sin(A-B)=\cfrac{-33}{65}

Whitney kicks a football off the ground. The height, h , in feet, of the football above the ground after t seconds is given by h
malfutka [58]

Answer:

<em>after 4seconds</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height, h , in feet, of the football above the ground after t seconds expressed by h ( t ) = − 8 t^2 + 32 t, the height of the ball on the ground is 0feet.

Substitute h(t) = 0 into the expression and calculate t;

h ( t ) = − 8 t^2 + 32 t

0 = − 8 t^2 + 32 t

8t² = 32t

8t = 32

Divide both sides by 8

8t/8 = 32/8

<em>t = 4s</em>

<em>Hence the football hits the ground after 4seconds</em>

If sinx=2cosx then, what is the value of sin2x?
Travka [436]
          sin(x) = 2cos(x)
         tan(x) = 2
tan⁻¹[tan(x)] = tan⁻¹(2)
                x ≈ 63.4

sin(2x) = sin[2(63.4)]
sin(2x) = sin(126.8)
sin(2x) ≈ 0.801
