Answer:

Option A. 37106 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An 757 passenger jet at the height of 3900 feet from the ground means vertical height = 3900 feet.

Angle of descent to the airport in Washington,D.C. is 6 degrees.

To find: Horizontal distance the plane will cover to reach the run way.

Solution: As we know tan ∅  = \frac{Height}{Base}

Then tan 6° = \frac{3900}{x}

0.105 = \frac{3900}{x}

x = \frac{3900}{.105}

x = 37106 ft

HELP! Find the value of sin 0 if tan 0 = 4; 180 < 0< 270
BabaBlast [244]

Hi there! Use the following identities below to help with your problem.

\large \boxed{sin \theta = tan \theta cos \theta} \\  \large \boxed{tan^{2}  \theta + 1 =  {sec}^{2} \theta}

What we know is our tangent value. We are going to use the tan²θ+1 = sec²θ to find the value of cosθ. Substitute tanθ = 4 in the second identity.

\large{ {4}^{2}  + 1 =  {sec}^{2} \theta } \\  \large{16 + 1 =  {sec}^{2} \theta } \\  \large{ {sec}^{2}  \theta = 17}

As we know, sec²θ = 1/cos²θ.

\large \boxed{sec \theta =   \frac{1}{cos \theta} } \\  \large \boxed{ {sec}^{2}  \theta =  \frac{1}{ {cos}^{2}  \theta} }

And thus,

\large{  {cos}^{2}  \theta =  \frac{1}{17}}   \\ \large{cos \theta =  \frac{ \sqrt{1} }{ \sqrt{17} } } \\  \large{cos \theta =  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{17} }  \longrightarrow  \frac{ \sqrt{17} }{17} }

Since the given domain is 180° < θ < 360°. Thus, the cosθ < 0.

\large{cos \theta =   \cancel\frac{ \sqrt{17} }{17} \longrightarrow cos \theta =  -  \frac{ \sqrt{17} }{17}}

Then use the Identity of sinθ = tanθcosθ to find the sinθ.

\large{sin \theta = 4 \times ( -  \frac{ \sqrt{17} }{17}) } \\  \large{sin \theta =  -  \frac{4 \sqrt{17} }{17} }

Answer

  • sinθ = -4sqrt(17)/17 or A choice.

What two numbers have a sum of -7 and a difference of 14?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 14 and their difference is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

"2 numbers (x and y)

x+y = 14

and x-y + 10

If you each equation by positive 2, one gets 2x+2y = 28 and 2x-2y = 20

The 'y-terms' cancel out or equal zero when adding, so 4x = 48, divide by 4 on each side and x or the first number equals 12.

Plug 12 back into the equation for 'x' and subtract 12 on both sides so that y=2

The difference of 12-2=10 and the addition of 12 and 2 equals 14"

hopes this helps

According to the Rational Root Theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x) = 9x4 – 2x2 – 3x + 4?
Tanzania [10]
The coefficients of x4 is 9. It has factors of 1, 3, and 9. The constant is 4. It has factors of 1, 2, and 4.
The (positive and negative) ratios of the factors of the coefficient of the x4 and the constant 4 are the potential rational roots of the function.
The answers are:
1, -1, 3, -3, 9, -9, 1/2, -1/2, 3/2, -3/2, 3/4, -3/4, 9/2, -9/2, 9/4, -9/4

tester [92]
If the two triangles are similar you can use a proportion to solve for the length of the legs.
\frac{2}{4}=\frac{x}{9}
Now, you would cross multiply to get 
4x=18
Now, you simplify that using the division property of equality.
You end up with 
x=4.5
Therefore, the legs of the triangle with a base of 9 inches will each be 4.5 units long.

Please can you help me thanks
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

mode means most repeated number . here in this given data 7 is repeated maximum number of times . so mode is 7.

to find median arrange the data from ascending to descending order.

Data = 1,2,3,4,5,7,7,7,8,8

median = N + 1/2    (N means no of data )

=10 + 1/2

=11/2

=5.5

= 5th term + 6th term/2

=5+7/2

=12/2

=6

mean = sum of data / no of data

=3+7+2+4+7+5+7+1+8+8/10

=52/10

=5.2

range = largest value - smallest value

=8 - 1

=7
