A little girl is watching planes take off of the runway from a building's rooftop 40 meters away from the airport. If the height

of the building is 400 meters and the girl snaps a photo of a plane at a 24º angle of elevation, what is the altitude, or vertical height, of the plane when the photo is taken?

Answer:

h = 417.81 meters

The altitude of the plane is 417.81 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

given;

The initial height of the girl h0 = 400 m

Horizontal distance from the airport d = 40 m

Angle of elevation of the plane ∅= 24°

The altitude of the plane when the picture was taken is equal to initial height of the girl plus the elevation height.

h = he + h0

And he (elevation height) can be derived as;

he = dtan∅

he = 40tan24°

Substituting into the equation;

h = 40tan24° + 400

h = 417.81 meters

The altitude of the plane is 417.81 meters

Find the area of the part of the plane 5x + 4y + z = 20 that lies in the first octant.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
This part of the plane is a triangle. Call it \mathcal S. We can find the intercepts by setting two variables to 0 simultaneously; we'd find, for instance, that y=z=0 means 5x=20\implies x=4, so that (4, 0, 0) is one vertex of the triangle. Similarly, we'd find that (0, 5, 0) and (0, 0, 20) are the other two vertices.

Next, we can parameterize the surface by

\mathbf s(u,v)=\langle4(1-u)(1-v),5u(1-v),20v\rangle

so that the surface element is

\mathrm dS=\|\mathbf s_u\times\mathbf s_v\|=20\sqrt{42}(1-v)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

Then the area of \mathcal S is given by the surface integral

\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal S}\mathrm dS=20\sqrt{42}\int_{u=0}^{u=1}\int_{v=0}^{v=1}(1-v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du
\displaystyle=20\sqrt{42}\int_{v=0}^{v=1}(1-v)\,\mathrm dv=10\sqrt{42}\approx64.8074

What is 4log1/2^w(2log1/2^u-3log1/2^v written as a single logarithm?
IrinaK [193]
Given:

4log1/2^w (2log1/2^u-3log1/2^v)

Req'd:

Single logarithm = ?

Sol'n:

First remove the parenthesis,

4 log 1/2 (w) + 2 log 1/2 (u) - 3 log 1/2 (v)

Simplify each term,

Simplify the 4 log 1/2 (w) by moving the constant 4 inside the logarithm;
Simplify the 2 log 1/2 (u) by moving the constant 2 inside the logarithm;
Simplify the -3 log 1/2 (v) by moving the constant -3 inside the logarithm:

 log 1/2 (w^4)  + 2 log 1/2 (u) - 3 log 1/2 (v) 
log 1/2 (w^4) + log 1/2 (u^2) - log 1/2 (v^3)

We have to use the product property of logarithms which is log of b (x) + log of b (y) = log of b (xy):

Thus,

Log of 1/2 (w^4 u^2) - log of 1/2 (v^3) 

then use the quotient property of logarithms which is log of b (x)  - log of b (y) = log of b (x/y)

Therefore, 

log of 1/2 (w^4 u^2 / v^3)

and for the final step and answer, reorder or rearrange w^4 and u^2:

log of 1/2 (u^2 w^4 / v^3)

What is the justification for each step in the solution of the equation?
podryga [215]

Here are the following justifications:

Given: -2 (x-1) +12=4x-6


Distribute property = -2x+2+12=4x-6


Combine like terms= -2x+14=4x-6

 

Transpose = -2x = 4x – 20

 

Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality = -6x = -20

 

Division property of equality = x = 20/6

 

Simplify = x = 10/3
