A steep mountain is inclined 75 degree to the horizontal and rises 3900 ft above the surrounding plain. A cable car is to be ins

talled by connecting a cable from the top of the mountain to a spot on the plain that is 910 ft from the base of the mountain. Find the shortest length of cable needed.

Answer: 4004.76\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

inclination is \theta=75^{\circ}

Mountain is h=3900\ ft high

Cable is tied x=910\ ft from the base of the mountain

From the figure, length of the shortest path is l

It is given by using Pythagoras theorem

\Rightarrow l^2=3900^2+910^2\\\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{(3900)^2+(910)^2}\\\Rightarrow l=4004.76\ ft

Which of the following statement(s) describes the rate of change of f over the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3? Select all that apply.
Vesnalui [34]

2 Answers: Choice B and Choice C

The rate of change is 2.

The rate of change is constant.

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

Explanation:

The first point on the left is when x = 1.5 and it has a height of y = 1

The point (1.5, 1) is on the line.

So is the point (3,4) for similar reasoning.

Compute the slope between those points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (4-1)/(3-1.5)

m = 3/(1.5)

m = 2

The slope is 2, which is the same as saying the rate of change is 2. This only applies when x > 1 of which the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3  is a part of.

Since the slope stays at 2 on the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3, this means we consider the slope to be constant. If the curve bended at all on this interval, then it wouldn't be a constant slope.
