We are given the relation between the height (in feet) and the distance (in miles) as follows:
y = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2).
We want to know the height (x) that makes the distance (y) = 10 miles
So, we will simply substitute in the above equation with y = 10 and calculate x as follows:
10 = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2)
we will square both sides to get rid of the root:
100 = 1.5x + (x/5280)^2
1.5x + (x/5280)^2 - 100 = 0
(x-66.11475)(x+7986.1147) = zero
either x = 66.11475 feet (accepted solution)
or x = -7986.1147 feet (rejected solution as no height is in negative)
The equation of the plane that goes through these points is:
6x + 2y + z = 10.
<h3>How to find the equation of a plane given three points?</h3>
The equation of the plane is found replacing the points into the following equation:
ax + by + c = z.
For point A, we have that:
3b + c = 4.
For point B, we have that:
a + 2b + c = 0.
For point C, we have that:
-a + 6b + c = 4.
Hence the system is:
From the first equation, we have that:
c = 4 - 3b.
Replacing in the second, we have that:
a + 2b + 4 - 3b = 0
a - b = -4.
Replacing in the third, we have that:
-a + 6b + 4 - 3b = 4.
-a + 3b = 0.
a = 3b.
We have that a - b = -4, hence:
3b - b = -4
2b = -4
b = -2.
a = 3b, hence a = -6.
c = 4 - 3b -> c = 10.
Hence the equation is:
ax + by + c = z.
z = -6x - 2y + 10
6x + 2y + z = 10.
