A meteorologist sends a signal from a radar station that stands 45 feet off the ground. The signal measures the distance to be 1

400 yards at an angle of 55°. Determine the height of the clouds

Answer:

  3485 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height above the radar station is found using ...

  height = distance × sin(angle)

  height = (4200 ft) × sin(55°) ≈ 3440 ft

Since the radar station is 45 ft above the ground, the height of the clouds will be an additional 45 ft:

  3440 ft + 45 ft = 3485 ft . . . . height of clouds

_____

<em>Comment on units</em>

You need to be a bit careful here because one dimension is given in feet and another in yards. You need to use 1 yard = 3 feet to figure that 1400 yards = 4200 feet. You could convert 45 ft to 15 yards and report the cloud height in yards. That would not be wrong, but it would be unusual.

Those who have taken the Algebra EOC please answer.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

To me yes.

Algebra is mostly memorization. If you know the formulas and know how to apply it, you should do good.

I say use this. Algebra topics are like building on top each other.

Heart of Algebra:

  • Review what the purpose of x in algebra.
  • Then learn things like combining like terms, and solving for x.
  • Since you know the basics of x, you can then review linear equations( imo, a big content of algebra). Stuff like slope, different linear forms, graphs of linear equations, and mostly linear equation word problems
  • Then you can review system of equations. since you know how to manipulate linear equations, etc.

Then move on to other algebra topics dealing with algebra like

  • functions, and different types of them
  • exponents, and radicals rules
  • inequalities.
  • sequences.
  • These aren't the heart of algebra but study them they are useful and it important to know them.

Since you learned different function rules, we can move on to learning exponetial functions, graphs, and word problems.

Then finally, learn most hard thing in Algebra: Quadratics.

Pratice,practice, and practice and you will pass.

Try to memorize the formulas and know when to apply it.

Good Luck

If csc x = −5, find csc(−x) find the period and horizontal shift
ella [17]

Answer:

\csc (-x) = - \csc x = - ( - 5) = 5

Period is 2π

Horizontal shift = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that \sin (-x) = - \sin x and as \csc x = \frac{1}{\sin x}, so, we can write \csc (-x) = - \csc x

Therefore, the if \csc x = - 5 then \csc (-x) = - \csc x = - ( - 5) = 5 (Answer)

Now, the period of \csc x is 2π, hence the period of \csc (- x) is also 2π.  (Answer)

Again. \csc ( - x) = \csc (-x + 0), hence, the horizontal shift of \csc (- x) is 0. (Answer)
