A plane descends 1000 ft while flying 2.7 mi. What is the angle of descent?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murrr4er [49]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

4.02°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of descent can be obtained using trigonometry ;

Since we have a right angled triangle ;

Let's use the relation:

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Hypotenus = 2.7 miles

1 mile = 5280 feets

2.7 miles = (2.7 * 5280) = 14256 feets

Sin θ = 1000 / 14256

Sin θ = 0.0701459

θ = sin^-1(0.0701459)

θ = 4.0223674

Find the sum of the following infinite sequence: 8, 2, .5, …
lubasha [3.4K]
Answer:
10.67

Explanation:
The given series is a geometric series:
8 , 2 , 0.5 , ...... etc

The general formula of the geometric sequence is:
a1 , a1*r , a1*r² , ......

Comparing the general form with the given, we would find that:
a1 = 8
a1 * r = 2
Therefore:
8*r = 2
r = 2/8 = 0.25

We can double check using another term as follows:
a1 = 8
a1*r² = 0.5
8r² = 0.5
r² = 0.5/8 = 0.0625
r = √0.0625 = 0.25

Now, we will get the sum of the sequence as follows:
S = \frac{a1}{1 - r} = \frac{8}{1 - 0.25} = 32/3 = 10.67

Hope this helps :)
