Answer:

height of the balloon = 1.0494 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

I drew a triangle and labeled angles A, B and C and sides a, b and c.

a = (c · sin A) / sin C = (3.5 · sin 24.5°) / sin 114.2° = 1.4514 / 0.9121 = 1.59 miles

now we have a 90° triangle

h = (a · sin B) / sin 90° = (1.59 · sin 41.3°) / sin 90° = 1.0494 / 1 = 1.0494 miles

Slope of (0,45) (6,33) (15,15)

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The slope is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,45)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (6,33)$

$(x_2,y_3) = (15,15)$

Required

The slope (m)

Slope is calculated as:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

So, we have:

$m = \frac{33 -45}{6 - 0}$

$m = \frac{-12}{6}$

$m =-2$

URGENT HELP PLEASE!

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

(a) $x=\dfrac{\pi}{8},\dfrac{3\pi}{8},\dfrac{9\pi}{8},\dfrac{11\pi}{8}$

(b) $x=\dfrac{3\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{6},\dfrac{5\pi}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that $0\leq x\leq 2\pi$ .

(a)

$\sqrt{2}\sin 2x=1$

$\sin 2x=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\sin 2x=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$

$2x=\dfrac{\pi}{4},\dfrac{3\pi}{4},\dfrac{9\pi}{4},\dfrac{11\pi}{4}$ $[\because \sin x=\sin y\Rightarrow x=n\pi+(-1)^ny]$

$x=\dfrac{\pi}{8},\dfrac{3\pi}{8},\dfrac{9\pi}{8},\dfrac{11\pi}{8}$

(b)

$\csc^2 x-\csc x-2=0$

$\csc^2 x-2\csc x+\csc x-2=0$

$\csc x(\csc x-2)+1(\csc x-2)=0$

$(\csc x+1)(\csc x-2)=0$

$\csc x=-1\text{ or }\csc x=2$

$\sin x=-1\text{ or }\sin x=\dfrac{1}{2}$ $[\because \sin x=\dfrac{1}{\csc x}]$

$x=\dfrac{3\pi}{2}\text{ or }x=\dfrac{\pi}{6},\dfrac{5\pi}{6}$

Therefore, $x=\dfrac{3\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{6},\dfrac{5\pi}{6}$ .
