Answer:

The distance of the plane from the base of the tower is 25.5 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Max is in a control tower at a small airport.

He is located 50 feet above the ground when he spots a small plane on the runway at an angle of depression of 27°.

Now by using the trigonometric identity.

tan\theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

As shown in the figure given below

Perpendicular = CB

Base = AC = 50 feet

\theta = 27^{\circ}

Put in the identity.

tan\ 27^{\circ} = \frac{CB}{AC}

tan\ 27^{\circ} = \frac{CB}{50}

tan\ 27^{\circ} = 0.51\ (Approx)

Put in the above

0.51 = \frac{CB}{50}

CB = 0.51 × 50

CB = 25.5 foot

Therefore the distance of the plane from the base of the tower is 25.5 foot.

<h2>The missing measures of the angles are:</h2>

m\angle 1= 60^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 2= 39^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 3= 21^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 4 = 39^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 5 = 21^{\circ}

<u>Given</u>:

m\angle Z = 138^{\circ}

<em><u>Note the following:</u></em>

  • An equilateral triangle has all its three angles equal to each other. Each angle = 60^{\circ}.
  • This implies that, since \triangle WXY is equilateral, therefore, m\angle Y = m\angle XWY = m\angle XYW = 60^{\circ}

  • Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent to each other.
  • This implies that, since \triangle WZY is isosceles, therefore, m\angle 3 = \angle 5

Applying the above stated, let's find the measure of each angle:

  • Find m\angle 1

m\angle 1 = 60^{\circ} (an angle in an equilateral triangle equals 60 degrees)

  • Find m\angle 2

m\angle 2 = 60 - m \angle 3

m\angle 2 = 60 -\frac{1}{2}(180 - 138) (Note: \frac{1}{2}(180 - 138) = 1 $ base $ angle $ of $ \triangle WZY)

m\angle 2 = 60 -21\\\\m\angle 2 = 39^{\circ}

  • Find m\angle 3 and m\angle 5 (base angles of isosceles triangle WZY)

m\angle 3 =  \frac{1}{2}(180 - 138) (1 $ base $ angle $ of $ \triangle WZY)

m\angle 3 =  \frac{1}{2}(42) \\\\m\angle3 = 21^{\circ}

m\angle3 = m\angle 5 (base angles of isosceles triangle are congruent)

Therefore,

m\angle5 = 21^{\circ}

  • Find m\angle 4

m\angle 4 = 60 - m\angle 5

Substitute

m\angle 4 = 60 - 21\\\\m\angle 4 = 39^{\circ}

The missing measures of the angles are:

m\angle 1= 60^{\circ}\\\\ m\angle 2= 39^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 3= 21^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 4 = 39^{\circ}\\\\m\angle 5 = 21^{\circ}

(8Q) Tell whether the function exhibits damped oscillation. If it does, identify the damping factor and tell whether the damping
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Option c.

No damping

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this question by using a graphing calculator or any plotting tool.

The function is

f(x) = (√11)*cos(3.7x)

Which can be seen in the picture below

We can notice that f(x) is a cosine with maximum amplitude of  (√11). Neither this factor nor the multiplication of x by 3.7 serve as a damping factor since they are constants.

f(x) does not present any dampening
