Answer: 125.80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Asuming the described situation is as shown in the figure below, we need to find the distance h between the kite and Jacks house, but first we need to find the x, y and then d.

How?

We will use trigonometry, especifically the trigonometric functions sine and cosine:

For y:

sin(65 \°)=\frac{y}{45 ft} (1)

Where y is the opposite side to the angle and 45 ft the hypotenuse.

Isolating y:

y=40.78 ft (2)

For x:

cos(65 \°)=\frac{x}{45 ft} (3)

Where x is the adjacent side to the angle.

Isolating x:

y=19.017 ft (4)

Finding d:

d=x+100 ft (5)

d=19.017 ft +100 ft

d=119.017 ft (6)

Now that we have found these values, we have to work with a bigger triangle, where the hypotenuse is the distance between the kite and Jack's house h and the sides are the values calculated in (4) and (6).

So, in this case we will use the <u>Pithagorean theorem</u>:

h^{2}=y^{2} +d^{2} (7)

Isolating h and writing with the known values:

h=\sqrt{y^{2} +d^{2}} (8)

h=\sqrt{(19.017 ft)^{2} +(119.017 ft)^{2}} (9)

h=125.80 ft This is the distance between the kite and the house

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

s(x) = 10/x

Step-by-step explanation:

There are x number of people. When you divide an amount by x, you get

amount/x

Here, the amount is 10 since you bought 10 pizzas, so each person gets

10 divided by x.

s(x) = 10/x

Solve the following ODE's: c) y* - 9y' + 18y = t^2
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

y = C_1e^{3t}+C_2e^{6t} + \dfrac{1}{18}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36}+\frac{2t}{3}+\frac{2}{18}+\frac{2}{9})

Step-by-step explanation:

y''- 9 y' + 18 y = t²

solution of ordinary differential equation

using characteristics equation

m² - 9 m + 18 = 0

m² - 3 m - 6 m+ 18 = 0

(m-3)(m-6) = 0

m = 3,6

C.F. = C_1e^{3t}+C_2e^{6t}

now calculating P.I.

P.I. = \frac{t^2}{D^2 - 9D +18}

P.I. = \dfrac{t^2}{(D-3)(D-6)}\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1-\frac{D}{3})^{-1}(1-\frac{D}{6})^{-1}(t^2)\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1-\frac{D}{3})^{-1}(1+\frac{D}{6}+\frac{D^2}{36}+....)(t^2)\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1-\frac{D}{3})^{-1}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36})\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1+\frac{D}{3}+\frac{D^2}{9}+....)(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36})\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36}+\frac{2t}{3}+\frac{2}{18}+\frac{2}{9})

hence the complete solution

y = C.F. + P.I.

y = C_1e^{3t}+C_2e^{6t} + \dfrac{1}{18}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36}+\frac{2t}{3}+\frac{2}{18}+\frac{2}{9})
