Kurt is flying his airplane over a campground. He spots a small fire below at an angle of depression of 32 degrees. If the horiz

ontal distance from Kurt’s plane to the fire is 3600 feet, find the approximate altitude of his plane.

Answer:

3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

Step-by-step explanation:

To find altitude this is the same in trigonometry as finding the side and we use calculation below in finding the hypotenuse which is same term as side for the angle of depression just to double check that height (altitude is less than slope in calculation).

sin (32) = 0.9271838546

3600/0.9271838546 = 3882.725074

= 3883 ft to nearest tenth. = slope

Then cos (32)x3882.725074 = 3292.737608

= 3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

Answer:

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of executives, of size n=160, and the proportion that prefer trucks is 26%.

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.26.

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26*0.74}{160}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0012}=0.0347$

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0347=0.068$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26-0.068=0.192\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26+0.068=0.328$

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.192, 0.328).

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

If a(x) = 3x + 1 and b (x) = StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot, what is the domain of (b circle a) (x)?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$[1,\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

$a(x)=3x+1$

Since we want to know the domain of $(b \circ a)(x)$ , let's first consider the domain of the inside function, that is, that of $a(x)=3x+1$ . Every polynomial function has domain all real numbers.

So we can plug anything for function $a$ and get a number back.

Now the other function is going to be worrisome because it has a square root. You cannot take square root of negative numbers if you are only considering real numbers which that is the case with most texts.

Let's find $(b \circ a)(x)$ and simplify now.

$(b \circ a)(x)$

$b(a(x))$

$b(3x+1)$

$\sqrt{(3x+1)-4}$

$\sqrt{3x+1-4}$

$\sqrt{3x-3}$

Now again we can only square root positive or zero numbers so we want $3x-3 \ge 0$ .

Let's solve this to find the domain of $(b \circ a)(x)$ .

$3x-3 \ge 0$

Add 3 on both sides:

$3x \ge 3$

Divide both sides by 3:

$x \ge 1$

So we want $x$ to be a number greater than or equal to 1.

The option that says this is $[1,\infty)$

-------------------------------

Give an example why option A fails:

A number in the given set is -2.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(-2)=3(-2)+1=-6+1=-5$ and $b(-5)=\sqrt{-5-4}=\sqrt{-9} \text{ which is not real}$ .

Give an example why option B fails:

A number in the given set is 0.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(0)=3(0)+1=0+1=1$ and $b(1)=\sqrt{1-4}=\sqrt{-3} \text{ which is not real}$ .

Give an example why option D fails:

While all the numbers in set D work, there are more numbers outside that range of numbers that also work.

A number not in the given set that works is 3.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(3)=3(3)+1=9+1=10$ and $b(1)=\sqrt{10-4}=\sqrt{6} \text{ which is real}$ .
