Answer:

0.128rad/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the between the man and the point on the path

θ = the angle

dx/dt = 4 ft/s

dθ/dt = rate is the searchlight rotating when the man is 15 ft from the point on the path closest to the searchlight

tan θ = x/20 ft

Cross Multiply

20tan θ = x

dx/dt = 20sec² θ dθ/dt

dθ/dt = 1/20 × cos² θ dx/dt

dθ/dt= 1/20 × cos² θ × 4

dθ/dt = 1/5 × cos² θ

Note : cos θ = 4/5

dθ/dt = 1/5 × (4/5)²

dθ/dt = 16/125

dθ/dt = 0.128rad/sec

A³b² a²b simplify the following expression
liberstina [14]

Answer:

a^{5}b^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of indices can be used to simplify mathematical expressions involving  arithmetical operation on variables with powers.

a^{m} x a^{n} = a^{(m+n)}

Thus, the given expression can be simplified as follows:

a³b² a²b  = a³ x a² x b² x b^{1}

               = a^{3+2} x b^{2+1}

               = a^{5}b^{3}

Thus,

a³b² a²b  = a^{5}b^{3}

What is the measure of angle B in the triangle?
sladkih [1.3K]
40 + 2x - 30 + x + 20 = 180
3x + 30 = 180
3x = 150
  x = 50

m<B = 2x - 30
m<B = 2(50) - 30
m<B = 100 - 30
m<B = 70

F(x) = { -2x -1, x ≤ 2
Degger [83]

Answer:

Use the appropriate entry method for piecewise functions for the graphing calculator of interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Desmos, the entry looks like ...

f(x) = {x ≤ 2: -2x-1,-x+4}

_____

For a TI-84 calculator, the entry may look like ...

Y₁ = (-2X–1)(X≤2) + (-X+4)(X>2)

The symbols ≤ and > come from the TEST menu, which is the (2nd) shift of the MATH key.

Note that the function is the sum of the pieces, each piece multiplied by a test. For something like 0≤x<2, the multiplier would be a pair of tests:

... (0≤X)(X<2)
