You are on a boat and measuring the height of a lighthouse, off in the distance. Your boat is 45ft from the coast. You measure the angle of elevation from your point on the boat to the top of the lighthouse to be 59∘. Find the height of the lighthouse to the nearest foot.

You Are On A Boat And Measuring The Height Of A Lighthouse, Off In The Distance. Your Boat Is 45ft From

Answers

Answer 1
This is a trigonometry question, where a right angle triangle is created from the boat to the coast to the top of the light house.

x is the angle of elevation
Opposite is the height of the light house
Adjacent is the distance from coast

Tan(x) = opposite/adjacent

tan (59) = opposite/ 45

tan(59) x 45 = opposite

opposite = 74.893

The height of the light house (from sea level) is 75 foot.

The path of a seat on a new Ferris wheel is modeled by x = –25sin(StartFraction pi Over 30 EndFraction t) and y = –25cos(StartFraction pi Over 30 EndFraction t) + 30, where distances are measured in feet. What is the maximum height a rider will experience?


50 feet

55 feet

60 feet

80 feet

Answers

Answer:

The maximum height a rider will experience is 55 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start writing the function that defines the path of a seat on the new Ferris wheel. This function will depend of the variable ''t'' which is time.

[tex]X(t)=(x,y)[/tex]

In which [tex]X(t)[/tex] are the coordinates of the seat (the x - coordinate and the y - coordinate) that depend from time.

[tex]''x''[/tex] and [tex]''y''[/tex] are functions that depend from the variable ''t''.

For this exercise :

[tex]X(t)=[-25sin(\frac{\pi}{30}t);-25cos(\frac{\pi}{30}t)+30][/tex]

In order to find the maximum height a rider will experience we will study the behaviour of the y - component from the function [tex]X(t)[/tex].

The function to study is [tex]y(t)=-25cos(\frac{\pi}{30}t)+30[/tex]

To find its maximum, we will derivate this function and equalize it to 0. Doing this, we will find the ''critical points'' from the function.

⇒ [tex]y(t)=-25cos(\frac{\pi}{30}t)+30[/tex]  ⇒

[tex]y'(t)=\frac{5}{6}\pi sin(\frac{\pi}{30}t)[/tex]

Now we equalize [tex]y'(t)[/tex] to 0 ⇒

[tex]y'(t)=0[/tex] ⇒ [tex]\frac{5}{6}\pi sin(\frac{\pi}{30}t)=0[/tex]

In this case it is easier to look for the values of ''t'' that verify :

[tex]sin(\frac{\pi}{30}t)=0[/tex]

Now we need to find the values of ''t''. We know that :

[tex]sin(0)=0\\\\sin(\pi)=0\\sin(-\pi)=0[/tex]

Therefore we can write the following equivalent equations :

[tex]\frac{\pi}{30}t=0[/tex] (I)

[tex]\frac{\pi}{30}t=\pi[/tex] (II)

[tex]\frac{\pi}{30}t=-\pi[/tex] (III)

From (I) we obtain [tex]t_{1}=0[/tex]

From (II) we obtain [tex]t_{2}=30[/tex]

And finally from (III) we obtain [tex]t_{3}=-30[/tex]

We found the three critical points of [tex]y(t)[/tex]. To see if they are either maximum or minimum we will use the second derivative test. Let's calculate the second derivate of [tex]y(t)[/tex] :

[tex]y'(t)=\frac{5}{6}\pi sin(\frac{\pi}{30}t)[/tex] ⇒

[tex]y''(t)=\frac{\pi ^{2}}{36}cos(\frac{\pi }{30}t)[/tex]

Now given that we have an arbitrary critical point ''[tex]t_{n}[/tex]'' ⇒

If [tex]y''(t_{n})>0[/tex]  then we will have a minimun at [tex]t_{n}[/tex]

If [tex]y''(t_{n})<0[/tex] then we will have a maximum at [tex]t_{n}[/tex]

Using the second derivative test with [tex]t_{1},t_{2}[/tex] and [tex]t_{3}[/tex] ⇒

[tex]y''(t_{1})=y''(0)=\frac{\pi ^{2}}{36} >0[/tex] ⇒ We have a minimum for [tex]t_{1}=0[/tex]

[tex]y''(t_{2})=y''(30)=\frac{-\pi^{2}}{36}<0[/tex] ⇒ We have a maximum for [tex]t_{2}=30[/tex]

[tex]y''(t_{3})=y''(-30)=\frac{-\pi^{2}}{36}<0[/tex] ⇒ We have a maximum for [tex]t_{3}=-30[/tex]

The last step for this exercise will be to find the values of the maximums.

We can do this by replacing in the equation of [tex]y(t)[/tex] the critical points [tex]t_{2}[/tex] and [tex]t_{3}[/tex] ⇒

[tex]y(t_{2})=y(30)=55[/tex]

[tex]y(t_{3})=y(-30)=55[/tex]

We found out that the maximum height a rider will experience is 55 feet.

step 1 : convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

ex: [tex]-\frac{7}{3}-(-5)[/tex]

step 2 : when there is a - in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression

ex : [tex]-\frac{7}{3}+5[/tex]

step 3 : calculate the sum

ex : [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

solution : [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

simplify: [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

exact form : [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

decimal form : 2.66666666 (repeating)

mixed number form : [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

Cos of an angle by definition of its ratio is side adjacent/hypotenuse.  The side adjacent to angle Z cannot be the hypotenuse, so it has to be 10. he hypotenuse is 26.  Therefore, cosZ= 10/26 = 5/13

Clinton has a bag of Skittles. Inside the bag are 6 red, 4 orange, 7 yellow, 3 purple and 4 green Skittles. What is the probability of drawing a green Skittle, replacing it, and then drawing another green Skittle

Answers

The probability of drawing a green Skittle, replacing it, and then drawing another green Skittle is 1/36

How to determine the probability?

The distribution of the Skittle is given as:

Red = 6

Orange = 4

Yellow = 7

Purple = 3

Green = 4

The total number of skittle is:

Total = 6 + 4 + 7 + 3 + 4

Evaluate

Total = 24

The probability of selecting a green skittle is:

P(Green) = 4/24

So, the probability of selecting 2 green skittles is:

P = 4/24 * 4/24

Evaluate

P = 1/36

Hence, the probability of drawing a green Skittle, replacing it, and then drawing another green Skittle is 1/36
