A hot air balloon rising vertically is tracked by an observer located 5 miles from the lift-off point. At a certain moment, the

angle between the observer's line-of-sight and the horizontal is π4 , and it is changing at a rate of 0.1 rad/min. How fast is the balloon rising at this moment?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

aThe person and the hot air balloon form a right triangle, with the lift-off point as the vertex that form the right angle. If you were to try to solve for the height of the balloon, you would need to use tangent to do so:

tanθ = opp/adj = y/x

y = xtanθ

What this problem ultimately wants to know, is how the distance of the balloon is changing with respect to time: dy/dt. So we need to take the derivative of the above equation (you need to product rule to do so):

dy/dt = (dx/dt)tanθ + xsec2θ(dθ/dt)

We need to find out values for all of the variables:

The observer is not moving, therefore dx/dt = 0.

The observer is standing 4 miles away from the lift-off point, so x = 4.

The angle between the horizontal and the observer's line of sight is π/3, therefore θ = π/3.

The rate of change for the angle, dθ/dt, is 0.1.

Just plug all the numbers in:

dy/dt = (0)tan(π/3) + (4)sec2(π/3)(0.1)

dy/dt = 0 + 1.6

dy/dt = 1.6 mi/min

The mean of a normally distributed group of weekly incomes of a large group of executives is $1,000 and the standard deviation i
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The z-score (value of z) for an income of $1,100 is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean of a normally distributed group of weekly incomes of a large group of executives is $1,000 and the standard deviation is $100.

<em>Let X = group of weekly incomes of a large group of executives</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=1,000 ,\sigma^{2}  = 100^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for a normal distribution is given by;

               Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean income = $1,000

            \sigma = standard deviation = $100

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, we are given an income of $1,100 for which we have to find the z-score (value of z);

So, <em><u>z-score</u></em> is given by = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{1,100-1,000}{100} = 1

<em>Hence, the z-score (value of z) for an income of $1,100 is 1.</em>

Find the​ slope-intercept form of the line whose slope is 5 and that passes through the point left (-2,8)
Doss [256]
\text{The slope-intercept form:}\ y=mx+b\\\\\text{m-a slope; b-a y-intercept}

\text{We have:}\\m=5\\\text{therefore}\ y=5x+b

\text{We know, the line passes through the point}\ (-2;\ 8)\to x=-2;\ y=8\\\\\text{substitute the values of x and y to the equation of the line:}\\\\8=5(-2)+b\\\\8=-10+b\ \ \ |+10\\\\b=18

\text{Your answer:}\ y=5x+18

Four different digits from 1 to 9 are required to open a safe.
masha68 [24]

Answer:  5942

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Clue 4 states exactly two of the digits = 1, 4, or 9

Clue 1 leaves us with the following combinations:

1, 9, 2, 8

1, 9, 3, 7    eliminate by clue 5

4, 9, 2, 5

1, 4, 7, 8

Clue 5 directs us to the following order for 1,9,2,8

2 __ __ 1     --> 2981 or 2891   eliminate by clue 2

9 __ __ 8    --> 9128 or 9218   eliminate by clue 6

9 __ __ 2    --> 9182 or 9812   eliminate by clue 6

Clue 5 directs us to the following order for 4,9,2,5

5 __ __ 2     --> 5492 or 5942   eliminate 5492 by clue 2

9 __ __ 2    --> 9452 or 9542   eliminate by clue 3

Clue 5 directs us to the following order for 1,4,7,8

4 __ __ 1    --> 4781 or 4871    eliminate by clue 2

The only combination not eliminated is 5-9-4-2, which satisfies all six clues.

1) 5 + 9 + 4 + 2 = 20

2) 5 > 4

3) 9 - 2 > 5

4) 4 & 9 but not 1 are included

5) 5 + 2 = 7, which is a prime number

6) 2 <  5, 9, 4
