Answer:

The expression of h as function of x is   h = \sqrt{(d + 5500) (d - 5500)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance of blimp  (AB) = 5500 feet

The slanted distance to the pagoda (BC) = d feet

The horizontal distance (AC) = h

Let the angle made between slanted distance and horizontal distance be Ф

So , cos Ф = \frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{h}{d}

And sin Ф =  \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{5500}{d}

∵, cos²Ф = 1 - sin²Ф

So, (\frac{h}{d})^{2} = 1 - (\frac{5500}{d})^{2}

Or, (\frac{h}{d})^{2} = (\frac{d^{2}- 5500^{2}}{d^{2}})

Or,                                     h² = d² - 5500²

∴                                        h = \sqrt{d^{2}- 5500^{2}}

Or,                                     h = \sqrt{(d + 5500) (d - 5500)}

Hence The expression of h as function of x is   h = \sqrt{(d + 5500) (d - 5500)}     Answer

Peter is buying office supplies he is able to buy three packages of paper in for staplers for $40 or he is able to buy five pack
Damm [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Cost of package of paper = 4$

Cost of stapler = 7$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Consider the cost of package of paper = x and that of stapler = y.

Now, we are given that cost of 3 paper packages and 4 staplers = 40$

Hence we get, 3x + 4y = 40 as 1st equation.

we are also given, cost of 5 paper packages and 6 staplers = 62$

Hence, the second equation is 5x + 6y = 62

Now, solving the two equations by method of elimination, we first equate coefficients of any one variable say x by multiplying 1st equation by 5 and second by 3 we get ->

15x + 20y = 200

15x + 18y= 186

Subtracting the two we get y = 7 and substituting this value of y in first equation we get x = 4

which gives the required cost of one paper package = x = 4$

and one stapler = y = 7$
