You are building a ramp that must cover a horizontal distance of exactly 17 feet. The angle of the ramp from the ground is 24°.

Determine the length of the ramp, in feet.

Answer:

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Horizontal distance (base distance) = 17 feet

Angle of elevation = 24°

Find:

Length of the ramp

Computation:

Cosθ = Length of base / Length of hypotenuse

Cos 24 = Horizontal distance (base distance) / Length of the ramp

Cos 24 = 17 / Length of the ramp

0.9135 = 17 / Length of the ramp

Length of the ramp = 17 / 0.9135

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

Solution for dy/dx+xsin 2 y=x^3 cos^2y

vichka [17]

Rearrange the ODE as

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+x\sin2y=x^3\cos^2y$
$\sec^2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+x\sin2y\sec^2y=x^3$

Take $u=\tan y$ , so that $\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}=\sec^2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ .

Supposing that $|y|$ , we have $\tan^{-1}u=y$ , from which it follows that

$\sin2y=2\sin y\cos y=2\dfrac u{\sqrt{u^2+1}}\dfrac1{\sqrt{u^2+1}}=\dfrac{2u}{u^2+1}$
$\sec^2y=1+\tan^2y=1+u^2$

So we can write the ODE as

$\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}+2xu=x^3$

which is linear in $u$ . Multiplying both sides by $e^{x^2}$ , we have

$e^{x^2}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}+2xe^{x^2}u=x^3e^{x^2}$
$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[e^{x^2}u\bigg]=x^3e^{x^2}$

Integrate both sides with respect to $x$ :

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[e^{x^2}u\bigg]\,\mathrm dx=\int x^3e^{x^2}\,\mathrm dx$
$e^{x^2}u=\displaystyle\int x^3e^{x^2}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute $t=x^2$ , so that $\mathrm dt=2x\,\mathrm dx$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int x^3e^{x^2}\,\mathrm dx=\frac12\int 2xx^2e^{x^2}\,\mathrm dx=\frac12\int te^t\,\mathrm dt$

Integrate the right hand side by parts using

$f=t\implies\mathrm df=\mathrm dt$
$\mathrm dg=e^t\,\mathrm dt\implies g=e^t$
$\displaystyle\frac12\int te^t\,\mathrm dt=\frac12\left(te^t-\int e^t\,\mathrm dt\right)$

You should end up with

$e^{x^2}u=\dfrac12e^{x^2}(x^2-1)+C$
$u=\dfrac{x^2-1}2+Ce^{-x^2}$
$\tan y=\dfrac{x^2-1}2+Ce^{-x^2}$

and provided that we restrict $|y|$ , we can write

$y=\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x^2-1}2+Ce^{-x^2}\right)$

Find the area of △LKJ.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

$A=600\: u^{2}$

<u>The correct answer is letter c.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The area equation of a triangle is given by:

$A=\frac{bh}{2}$ (1)

Where:

b is the base

h is the height

Let's find first the angle MJK (α), using the tangent definition.

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{24}{32}$

$\alpha=tan^{-1}(\frac{24}{32})$

$\alpha=36.9^{\circ}$

Now, if α = 37° then β (angle JLK) must be:

$37^{\circ} + \beta + 90^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$

$\beta=53^{\circ}$

Now, we can find the distance ML using again the tangent definition:

$tan(\beta)=\frac{24}{ML}$

$ML=\frac{24}{tan(53)}$

$ML=18$

The base of the triangle LKJ will be:

$b=32+ML=32+18=50$

Therefore, using equation (1) the area of △LKJ will be:

$A=\frac{50*24}{2}$

$A=600\: u^{2}$

The correct answer is c.

I hope it helps you!
