Kurt is flying his airplane over a campground. He spots a small fire below at an angle of depression of 32 degrees. If the horiz

ontal distance from Kurt’s plane to the fire is 3600 feet, find the approximate altitude of his plane.

Answer:

3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

Step-by-step explanation:

To find altitude this is the same in trigonometry as finding the side and we use calculation below in finding the hypotenuse which is same term as side for the angle of depression just to double check that height (altitude is less than slope in calculation).

sin (32) = 0.9271838546

3600/0.9271838546 = 3882.725074

= 3883 ft to nearest tenth. = slope

Then cos (32)x3882.725074 = 3292.737608

= 3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

write an equation in slope intercept form for a line through the following: through (5,2). with a slope of -2
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

y = - 2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 2) into the partial equation

2 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 10 = 12

y = - 2x + 12 ← equation of line

The center of an ice rink is located at (0, 0) on a coordinate system measured in feet. sandi skates along a path that can be mo
WARRIOR [948]

The answers to the question are are the equations

y = 0.08x²-1.6x+13

y = 0.08(x-10)²+5

<h3>How to solve for the system of equations</h3>

David starts at (20, 13) and skates along a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (10, 5).

Vertex form of quadratic function is

y = a(x-h)^2+k

13 = a(x-10)²+5

let x = 20

a(20-10)²+5

13 = 100a + 5

take like terms

13 - 5 = 100a

8 = 100a

divide through by 100

a = 0.08

hence the equation would be

y = 0.08(x-10)²+5
