Un globo busca aterrizar en medio de dos ciudades A y B, cuya distancia entre si es de 200 km. Si se mide el ángulo de elevación

desde cada casa hasta el punto C en el que se ubica el globo en un instante dado, se obtienen 27° y 36° . ¿Cuál es la altura aproximada del globo?

Answer:

h \approx 59.898\,km

Step-by-step explanation:

El diagrama trigonométrico que representa el enunciado es incluido abajo como adjunto. Las siguientes relaciones trigonométricas describen la localización del globo. (The trigonometric diagram representing the statement is included below as attachment. The following trigonometric relations describes the location of the balloon):

\tan 27^{\circ} = \frac{h}{x}

\tan 36^{\circ} = \frac{h}{200-x}

A continuación, se obtiene la distancia horizontal: (The horizontal distance is obtained hereafter):

x \cdot \tan 27^{\circ} = (200-x)\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}

x \cdot (\tan 27^{\circ} + \tan 36^{\circ})= 200\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}

x = \frac{200\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}}{\tan 27^{\circ}+ \tan 36^{\circ}}

x \approx 117.557\,km

La altura aproximada del globo es (The approximated height of the globe is):

h = x\cdot \tan 27^{\circ}

h \approx 59.898\,km

If you are constructing a 95% confidence interval for a normally distributed population when your sample size is 10, what value
Nuetrik [128]

This is something you'll need a T table for, or a calculator that can compute critical T values. Either way, we have n = 10 as our sample size, so df = n-1 = 10-1 = 9 is the degrees of freedom.

If you use a table, look at the row that starts with df = 9. Then look at the column that is labeled "95% confidence"

I show an example below of what I mean.

In that diagram, the row and column mentioned intersect at 2.262 (which is approximate). This value then rounds to 2.26

<h3>Answer:  2.26</h3>

Jackson is conducting an experiment for his Physics class. He attaches a weight to the bottom of a metal spring. He then pulls t
olga55 [171]
We have that the spring is going to have a sin or a cos equation. We have that the maximum distance of the spring is 6 inches and it is achieved at t=0. Let's fix this as the positive edge. Until now, we have that the function is of the form:
6sin(at+B). We have that the period is 4 minutes and hence that the time component in the equation needs to make a period (2pi) in 4 minutes. Thus 4min*a=2p, a=2p/4=pi/2. In general, a=2pi/T where a is this coefficient, T is the period. Finally, for B, since sin(pi/2)=1, we have that B=pi/2 because when t=0, we have that 6sin(B)=6. Substituting, we have f(t)=6sin(pi*t/2+pi/2)=6cos(pi*t/2)
by trigonometric identities.

kirill115 [55]
Draw a simple branch diagram to work the probabilities out. You find that the chance of a poisonous mushroom is 0.08 and the chance of a red poisonous is 0.04. So the probability that a poisonous mushroom is red is 1/2 or 0.5.
