An osprey flying horizontally 100 feet above a lake spots a fish below. It tilts its flight path downward by 45°. If the osprey

is diving at 45 mph, at what rate is its altitude changing (rounded to the nearest foot per second)?

Answer: the rate at which its altitude is changing is -47 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

ds/dt = 45 mph =  45 × 5280/3600 = 66 ft/sec

no we have to determine dx/dt

so

cos∅ = dx/dt / ds/dt

cos45° = dx/dt / 66  

dx/dt = 0.7071 × 66

dx/dt = 46.6686 ≈ 47 ft/s ( as altitude is decreasing, its negative - )

so the rate at which its altitude is changing is -47 ft/s

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

by definition :It's exponential growth when the base of our exponential is bigger than 1, which means those numbers get bigger. It's exponential decay when the base of our exponential is in between 1 and 0 and those numbers get smaller.

example:  exponential growth

y=2^x

exponential decay

y=(1/2)^x

In a data ,range is 17 and coefficient of range is 0.2 find the smallest term of the data.
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let largest value of data be L

and smallest value of data be S.

We are given that the range and coefficient of range of the data are 17 and 0.2 respectively.

Range formula is given by = Largest value - Smallest value

                   17  =   L - S

                  L = 17 + S ---------- [Equation 1]

Coefficient of range formula = (Largest - Smallest) ÷ (Largest + Smallest)

                                       0.2   =    l-s/l+s

                                      0.2 = 17/l+s

                 L + S = 17/0.2 = 85

So,    L + S = 85

       17 + S + S = 85   {using equation 1}

           2*S = 80

             S = 80/2 = 40

Putting value of S in equation 1, we get L = 20 + 40 = 60

Therefore,  Largest value, L = 60

               smallest value, S = 40
