Find the missing side round your answer to the nearest tenth

Mathematics

Answer:

x ≈ 14.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the triangle is right then use Pythagoras' identity.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² + 15² = 21²

x² + 225 = 441 ( subtract 225 from both sides )

x² = 216 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{216}$ ≈ 14.7 ( to the nearest tenth )

Find the tangent line equation of the curve at the given point. Y=arcsin(7x) at the point where x=sqrt2/14

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$Y-\frac{\pi}{2} =\frac{\pi}{2} (x+\sqrt{\frac{1}{7}})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the curve is

$Y = sin^{-1}(7x)$

To find the equation of tangent we need to differentiate this equation w.r.t x

So, differentiating we get

$Y'=\frac{7}{\sqrt{1-49x^2} }$

This would give the slope of the tangent line at any given point of which x coordinate is known. In the present case it is $x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{7} }$

Then slope would accordingly be

$Y'=\frac{7}{\sqrt{1-49/49} }$

= ∞

For, $x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{7} }$ , $Y = sin^{-1}(7/7)= \pi/2$

Equation of tangent line, in the point slope form, would be $Y-\frac{\pi}{2} =\frac{\pi}{2} (x+\sqrt{\frac{1}{7}})$

The International Space Station orbits at an altitude of about 250 miles about Earth’s surface. The radius of Earth is approxima

Hatshy [7]

In this case we are dealing with the pythagorean theorm involving right angled triangles. This theorm states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 which means the square of the hypotenuse (side c, opposite the right angle) is equal to the square of the remaining two sides.

In this case we will say that a = 3963 miles which is the radius of the earth. c is equal to the radius of the earth plus the additional altitude of the space station which is 250 miles; therefore, c = 4213 miles. We must now solve for the value b which is equal to how far an astronaut can see to the horizon.

(3963)^2 + b^2 = (4213)^2
b^2 = 2,044,000
b = 1430 miles.

The astronaut can see 1430 miles to the horizon.
