Answer:

26.2655 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever possible, draw a diagram. I've attached a picture of the balloon and the lines of depression (not drawn to scale, of course).

As you can see, the angles of depression form alternate interior angles with the ground (angles of elevation). So these angles are also 13° and 39°.

We can use the tangents of these angles to find the base lengths of the two triangles that are formed.

tan 13° = 4 / a

a = 4 / tan 13°

tan 39° = 4 / b

b = 4 / tan 39°

So the total distance is:

a + b

= 4 / tan 13° + 4 / tan 39°

≈ 22.2655

C. Read and analyze the problem, then solve.

Sliva [168]

Given parameters:

Total length of curtains bought = 20m

She used 8m for the living room

She used 7m for the dining room

unknown:

Quantity used for the kitchen = ?

Solution:

Quantity used for the kitchen = Total length - (living room + dining room)

Input the parameters given solve;

Quantity used for the kitchen = 20 - (8 + 7) = 5m

The length of curtain used for the kitchen is 5m

A university with a high water bill is interested in estimating the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each d

yuradex [85]

Answer:

a) lower limit = 4.295 minutes

b) upper limit = 6.365 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 5.33 minutes

Standard deviation r = 1.33 minutes

Number of samples n = 11

Confidence interval = 99%

z(at 99% confidence) = 2.58

Substituting the values we have;

5.33+/-2.58(1.33/√11)

5.33+/-2.58(0.401010088288)

5.33+/-1.0346060277

5.33+/-1.035

= ( 4.295, 6.365) minutes

Therefore at 99% confidence interval (lower, upper limit) = ( 4.295, 6.365) minutes

a) lower limit = 4.295 minutes

b) upper limit = 6.365 minutes

Derivative Notation

Derivative Rule [Quotient Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Approximating Transcendental and Elementary functions
MacLaurin Polynomial: $\displaystyle P_n(x) = \frac{f(0)}{0!} + \frac{f'(0)}{1!}x + \frac{f''(0)}{2!}x^2 + \frac{f'''(0)}{3!}x^3 + ... + \frac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n!}x^n$
Taylor Polynomial: $\displaystyle P_n(x) = \frac{f(c)}{0!} + \frac{f'(c)}{1!}(x - c) + \frac{f''(c)}{2!}(x - c)^2 + \frac{f'''(c)}{3!}(x - c)^3 + ... + \frac{f^{(n)}(c)}{n!}(x - c)^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note: I will not be showing the work for derivatives as it is relatively straightforward. If you request for me to show that portion, please leave a comment so I can add it. I will also not show work for elementary calculations.

Step 1: Define

Identify

f(x) = ln(1 - x)

Center: x = 0

n = 3

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] 1st Derivative: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{1}{x - 1}$
[Function] 2nd Derivative: $\displaystyle f''(x) = \frac{-1}{(x - 1)^2}$
[Function] 3rd Derivative: $\displaystyle f'''(x) = \frac{2}{(x - 1)^3}$

Step 3: Evaluate Functions

Substitute in center x [Function]: $\displaystyle f(0) = ln(1 - 0)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f(0) = 0$
Substitute in center x [1st Derivative]: $\displaystyle f'(0) = \frac{1}{0 - 1}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f'(0) = -1$
Substitute in center x [2nd Derivative]: $\displaystyle f''(0) = \frac{-1}{(0 - 1)^2}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f''(0) = -1$
Substitute in center x [3rd Derivative]: $\displaystyle f'''(0) = \frac{2}{(0 - 1)^3}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f'''(0) = -2$

Step 4: Write Taylor Polynomial

Substitute in derivative function values [MacLaurin Polynomial]: $\displaystyle P_3(x) = \frac{0}{0!} + \frac{-1}{1!}x + \frac{-1}{2!}x^2 + \frac{-2}{3!}x^3$
Simplify: $\displaystyle P_3(x) = -x - \frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3}$
