75 = 4(2)^x

Mathematics

1 answer:

Valentin [98]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

4.229

Step-by-step explanation:

75 = 4(2)^x

75/4 = 2^x

Apply ln both sides

ln(75/4) = ln(2^x)

ln(75/4) = x ln(2)

x = ln(75/4) ÷ ln(2)

x = 4.22881869

-2x + 6y = 6

6y - 6 = 2x

6(y-1) = 2x

(1/2) * 6(y-1) = 2x * (1/2)

x = 3(y-1)

------------

If, x = 3(y-1),

-7 * 3(y-1) + 8y = -5

-21 * (y-1) + 8y = -5

-21y + 21 + 8y = -5

21 + 5 = 21y - 8y

26 = 13y

y = 26/13

Therefore: y=2.

----------

If y=2,

x = 3(2-1) = 3

4) The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two

Naily [24]

Answers:

Satellite is approximately 2446.43 km from station A.
Satellite is approximately 2441.61 km above the ground.

=========================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming tracking stations A and B are at the same elevation and are on flat ground. In reality, this is likely not the case; however, for the sake of simplicity, we'll assume this is the case.

The diagram is shown below. Points A and B describe the two stations, while point C is the satellite's location. Point D is on the ground directly below the satellite. We have these lengths

AB = 60 km
AD = x
CD = h

Focusing on triangle ACD, we can apply the tangent rule to isolate h.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = CD/AD

tan(86.4) = h/x

x*tan(86.4) = h

h = x*tan(86.4)

We'll use this later in the substitution below.

--------------------

Now move onto triangle BCD. For the reference angle B = 85, we can use the tangent rule to say

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = CD/DB

tan(B) = CD/(DA+AB)

tan(85) = h/(x+60)

tan(85)*(x+60) = h

tan(85)*(x+60) = x*tan(86.4) ............. apply substitution; isolate x

x*tan(85)+60*tan(85) = x*tan(86.4)

60*tan(85) = x*tan(86.4)-x*tan(85)

60*tan(85) = x*(tan(86.4)-tan(85))

x*(tan(86.4)-tan(85)) = 60*tan(85)

x = 60*tan(85)/(tan(86.4)-tan(85))

x = 153.612786190499

--------------------

We'll use this approximate x value to find h

h = x*tan(86.4)

h = 153.612786190499*tan(86.4)

h = 2441.60531869599

h = 2441.61 km is how high the satellite is above the ground.

Return to triangle ACD. We'll use the cosine rule to determine the length of the hypotenuse AC

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(A) = AD/AC

cos(86.4) = x/AC

cos(86.4) = 153.612786190499/AC

AC*cos(86.4) = 153.612786190499

AC = 153.612786190499/cos(86.4)

AC = 2446.43279498247

AC = 2446.43 km is the distance from the satellite to station A.

What is the sum of the exterior angles of a convex polygon?

Volgvan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles for each polygon is always 360°.

The sum of the interior angles for each polygon is always 180°(n-2).

If you have n-sided convex polygon, then

$\left(\text{Sum of all interior angles}\right)+ \left(\text{ Sum of all exterior angles}\right)=180^{\circ}\cdot n$

So,

$\left(\text{Sum of all interior angles}\right)+ 180^{\circ}\cdot (n-2)=180^{\circ}\cdot n\\ \\\left(\text{Sum of all interior angles}\right)=180^{\circ}\cdot n-180^{\circ}\cdot (n-2)=180^{\circ}\cdot (n-n+2)=360^{\circ}$
