A pilot approaching a 3000-meter runway finds that the angles of depression of the ends of the runway are 14° and 20°. How far is the plane from the closer end of the runway? Round to the nearest tenth place.
Final answer:
To find out how far the plane is from the closer end of the runway, we use the angles of depression and runway length to calculate the distance using trigonometric ratios. The distance is found to be approximately 26153 meters.
Explanation:
To determine the distance from the plane to the closer end of the runway, we use trigonometric ratios based on the angles of depression given. The angles of depression to the ends of the runway are 14° and 20°. Since the problem involves a horizontal surface (runway) and vertical angles (angles of depression), we can create two right triangles. One triangle has an angle of 14° between the plane's line of sight and the horizontal surface, and the other one has a 20° angle.
Let x be the distance from the plane to the point directly above the closer end of the runway and y be the distance from the plane to the point directly above the far end of the runway. We are looking for x, which can be found using the tangent of the 14° angle.
x = runway length / (tan(20°) - tan(14°))
Given the runway length as 3000 meters, we can calculate:
x = 3000 / (tan(20°) - tan(14°))
Crunching the numbers:
x ≈ 3000 / (0.3640 - 0.2493)
x ≈ 3000 / 0.1147
x ≈ 26153 meters (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Therefore, the distance from the plane to the closer end of the runway is approximately 26153 meters.

A candy machine contains 120 spherical candies. Each candy is solid and has a diameter of 0.25 inches.
What is the total volume of the candies in the machine?
Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the statement.
The total volume of the candies in the machine is about
Solution for Q1:
Given is the height of ice-cream cone, h = 6 inches.
Given is the diameter of ice-cream cone, d = 2 inches. Then radius of cone would be half of diameter, r = d/2 = 1 inch.
The ice-cream without scoop would be in the shape of cone only. So we need to find the volume of cone.
We know the formula for volume of cone is given as follows :-
[tex] Volume = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h \\\\Volume = \frac{1}{3} \pi (1)^{2} (6) \\\\Volume = \frac{6\pi}{3} = 2\pi = 2(3.14) = 6.28 \;cubic \;inches. [/tex]
So the volume is 6.28 ≈ 6 in³.
Hence, option A is correct i.e. 6 cubic inches.
Solution for Q2:
A candy is in shape of sphere with diameter, d = 0.25 inches.
Then radius of sphere, r = d/2 = 0.250/2 = 0.125 inches.
The formula for volume of sphere is given as follows :-
[tex] Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\\\Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.125)^{3} \\\\Volume = 0.00818123 \;cubic \;inches. [/tex]
So, volume of one candy = 0.00818123 cubic inches.
There are total 120 candies in the machine.
Total volume of all 120 candies = 120 x 0.00818123 = 0.981748 cubic inches.
Hence, the total volume of all candies in the machine is about 0.982 in³.

Given an exponential function for compounding interest, A(x) = P(.91)^x, what is the rate of change?
A. −0.09%
B. −9%
C. 0.91%
D. 91%
The confirmed correct answer is -9%. Trust me.
Answer:
Option B = -9%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Given an exponential function for compounding interest, [tex]A(x) = P(.91)^x[/tex]
To find : What is the rate of change?
Solution :
The general form of the exponential function is [tex]f(x)=a(1+r)^x[/tex]
Where,
r is the rate of change
if r> 1 then it is growth rate
if r< 1 then it is decay rate.
Comparing given function with exponential function,
[tex]A(x) = P(.91)^x[/tex]
[tex]1+r=0.91[/tex]
[tex]r=0.91-1[/tex]
[tex]r=−0.09[/tex]
It is a decay rate.
Convert into percentage, multiply with 100
[tex]-0.09\times 100=-9\%[/tex]
Therefore, Option B is correct.
The rate of change is -9%.
The equation of a circle is (x + 12)2 + (y + 16)2 = (r1)2, and the circle passes through the origin. the equation of the circle then changes to (x – 30)2 + (y – 16)2 = (r2)2, and the circle still passes through the origin. what are the values of r1 and r2?
a.r1 = 10 and r2 = 17
b.r1 = 10 and r2 = 34
c.r1 = 20 and r2 = 17
d.r1 = 20 and r2 = 34
Answer:
Option D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Equations of Circles:
Circle 1 - [tex](x+12)^2+(y+16)^2=(r_1)^2[/tex]
Circle 2 - [tex](x-30)^2+(y-16)^2=(r_2)^2[/tex]
Both circles passes through origin.
To find: Values of [tex]r_1\:,\:r_2[/tex]
Coordinates of origin = ( 0 , 0 )
Circles passes through origin means x = 0 & y = 0 must satisfy the equation of circles.
So, Substituting x = 0 & y = 0 in Eqn of Circle 1
we get
[tex](0+12)^2+(0+16)^2=(r_1)^2[/tex]
[tex](r_1)^2=12^2+16^2[/tex]
[tex](r_1)^2=144+256[/tex]
[tex](r_1)^2=400[/tex]
[tex]r_1=\sqrt{400}[/tex]
[tex]r_1=20[/tex]
Now, Substituting x = 0 & y = 0 in Eqn of Circle 2
we get
[tex](0-30)^2+(0-16)^2=(r_2)^2[/tex]
[tex](r_2)^2=(-30)^2+(-16)^2[/tex]
[tex](r_2)^2=900+256[/tex]
[tex](r_2)^2=1156[/tex]
[tex]r_2=\sqrt{1156}[/tex]
[tex]r_2=34[/tex]
Therefore, Option D is correct .i.e., [tex]r_1=20\:\:,\:\:r_2=34[/tex]
In a 45-45-90 triangle, what is the length of the hypotenuse when the length of one of the legs is 5 in.? 25√ in. 52√ in. 5√ in. 55√ in.
Answer: [tex]5\sqrt{2}\ in[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In a 45-45-90 triangle, the length of one of the legs= 5 in.
Let H be the hypotenuse of the given right triangle.
Since the two angles are equal (45°) in the given right triangle,also in a triangle the side opposite to the equal angles are equal.
Therefore, the other leg of given right triangle = 5 in.
Now applying Pythagoras theorem, we get
[tex]H^2=5^2+5^2=25+25\\\\\Rightarrow\ H^2=50\\\\\Rightarrow H=\sqrt{50}\\\\\Rightarrow H=5\sqrt{2}\ in[/tex]
Hence, the length of the hypotenuse = [tex]5\sqrt{2}\ in[/tex]

Which function grows at the fastest rate for increasing values of x?
h(x)=2x
f(x)=4x2+9x
g(x)=18x
Answer:
Option 2. f(x) = 4x² + 9x
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question we have to tell which function grows at the fastest rate for increasing values of x.
1) h(x) = 2x It's a linear function increasing with the value of x.
2). f(x) = 4x²+9x It's a function representing parabola. Moreover the value of the function increases exponentially as the function is in the form of quadratic equation.
3). g(x) = 18x it's again a linear function.
Therefore out of three functions Function 2 will grow at the fastest rate for increasing values of x.

A left-skewed distribution has a long left tail. This is also called negatively-skewed distributions. That’s for the reason that there is a long tail in the negative direction on the number line. The average is also to the left of the peak.
A right-skewed distribution has a long right tail, or positive-skew distributions. That’s for the reason that there is a long tail in the positive way on the number line. The average is also to the right of the peak.
A group of art students are painting a mural on a wall. the rectangular wall has dimensions of (6x + 7) by (8x + 5) and they are planning the mural to be (x + 4) by (2x + 5). what is the area of the remaining wall after the mural has been painted?
The area of the remaining wall after the mural has been painted is 46x^2+73x+15. Hence, he correct answer is [tex]\(\boxed{\text{A. }46x^2+73x+15}\)[/tex]
To find the area of the remaining wall after the mural has been painted, we need to find the area of the entire wall and then subtract the area of the mural.
The area of the rectangular wall is given by the product of its dimensions:
[tex]\[ \text{Area of wall} = (6x+7)(8x+5) \][/tex]
Expanding this expression:
[tex]\[ \text{Area of wall} = 48x^2 + 30x + 56x + 35 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Area of wall} = 48x^2 + 86x + 35 \][/tex]
Now, the area of the mural is given by the product of its dimensions:
[tex]\[ \text{Area of mural} = (x+4)(2x+5) \][/tex]
Expanding this expression:
[tex]\[ \text{Area of mural} = 2x^2 + 5x + 8x + 20 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Area of mural} = 2x^2 + 13x + 20 \][/tex]
Now, to find the area of the remaining wall, we subtract the area of the mural from the area of the wall:
[tex]\[ \text{Area of remaining wall} = \text{Area of wall} - \text{Area of mural} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Area of remaining wall} = (48x^2 + 86x + 35) - (2x^2 + 13x + 20) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Area of remaining wall} = 48x^2 + 86x + 35 - 2x^2 - 13x - 20 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Area of remaining wall} = 46x^2 + 73x + 15 \][/tex]
So, the correct answer is [tex]\(\boxed{\text{A. }46x^2+73x+15}\)[/tex].

A full waterbed mattress is 7 ft by 4 ft by 1 ft. If water weighs 62.4 lb/ft3, what is the weight of the water in the mattress to the nearest pound?
How can you determine the amount of water the mattress can hold?
The weight of the water is in pounds per cubic feet. How can you get an answer with a unit of pounds?,
The water in the mattress weighs approximately 1,747 pounds.To find the weight of water in the mattress, calculate the volume by multiplying the dimensions and then multiply the volume by the weight of water per cubic foot.
To determine the weight of the water in the mattress, follow these steps:
Calculate the volume of the waterbed mattress by multiplying its dimensions:
Volume = 7 ft * 4 ft * 1 ft = 28 ft³
Next, use the given weight of water per cubic foot to find the total weight:
Weight of Water = Volume * Weight per Cubic Foot
Weight of Water = 28 ft³ * 62.4 lb/ft³
Finally, multiply these values:
Weight of Water = 28 * 62.4 = 1,747.2 lb
To the nearest pound, the weight of the water in the mattress is 1,747 pounds.
