Answer:

The rate of change in distance between the spy and the rocket is 10.8 km/min,

or about 180 m/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

At "Time=0" the rocket is 6km from the spy.

The rocket travels vertically 8km in about 0.37 minutes, calculated by 8km÷21.6km/min.

At that point, the rocket is 10 km from the spy., calculated by 6²+8²=10²

The difference is 4 kiilometers over 0.37minutes, about 22.2 seconds

Divide Distance by Time to get Rate:

4km/0.37min = 10.8 km/min

That is about 180 meters per second.

If θ is an angle in standard position whose terminal side passes through (3, 4), evaluate tan(1/2)θ.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The tangent half angle formula, one of several, is

\tan \dfrac a 2 = \dfrac{1 - \cos a}{\sin a}

We have θ is opposite 4 in the 3/4/5 right triangle so

\cos \theta = \dfrac{3}{5}

\sin \theta = \dfrac{4}{5}

\tan \dfrac{\theta}{2} = \dfrac{1 - 3/5}{4/5} = \dfrac{5-3}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Answer: 1/2

This is actually pretty deep.  It says half the big acute angle in the 3/4/5 triangle is the small diagonal angle of the 1x2 rectangle.   Similarly, the small acute angle in 3/4/5 triangle is twice the small diagonal angle of the 1x3 rectangle.
