You fly a hot air balloon 0.5 miles above the ground. What is the measure of BD⌢, the portion of Earth that you can see? Round y

our answer to the nearest tenth. (Earth's radius is approximately 4000 miles.)
PLEASE HELP ASAP!

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need the angle CAD, which can then be used to calculate the arc BD.

From definition of cosine,

cos(x) = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos(x) = AD / AC = 4000 / 4000.5 = 0.9998750156230471

The inverse function gives

x = arccosine (4000/4000.5)

= arccosine (0.9998750156230471)

= 0.01581056485742214 radians = 0.9058786380481468 degrees

Radius of the earth, r = 4000 miles

Arc BD = 2 time arc subtended by angle x

= 2 (rx) where x is in radians

= 2*4000*0.01581056485742214

= 126.48 miles (to two decimal places)

Solve the system of linear equations using multiplication.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$(8,-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is:

$3x+3y=21$

$6x+12y=36$

Since I prefer to use smaller numbers I'm going to divide both sides of the first equation by 3 and both sides of the equation equation by 6.

This gives me the system:

$x+y=7$

$x+2y=6$

We could solve the first equation for $x$ and replace the second $x$ with that.

Let's do that.

$x+y=7$

Subtract $y$ on both sides:

$x=7-y$

So we are replacing the second $x$ in the second equation with $(7-y)$ which gives us:

$(7-y)+2y=6$

$7-y+2y=6$

$7+y=6$

$y=6-7$

$y=-1$

Now recall the first equation we arranged so that $x$ was the subject. I'm referring to $x=7-y$ .

We can now find $x$ given that $y=-1$ using the equation $x=7-y$ .

Let's do that.

$x=7-y$ with $y=-1$ :

$x=7-(-1)$

$x=7+1$

$x=8$

So the solution is (8,-1).

We can check this point by plugging it into both equations.

If both equations render true for that point, then we have verify the solution.

Let's try it.

$3x+3y=21$ with $(x,y)=(8,-1)$ :

$3(8)+3(-1)=21$

$24+(-3)=21$

$21=21$ is a true equation so the "solution" looks promising still.

$6x+12y=36$ with $(x,y)=(8,-1)$ :

$6(8)+12(-1)=36$

$48+(-12)=36$

$36=36$ is also true so the solution has been verified since both equations render true for that point.

If 2x2 + y2 = 17 then evaluate the second derivative of y with respect to x when x = 2 and y = 3. Round your answer to 2 decimal

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

y''=-1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that $2x^2+y^2=17$

We have evaluate the second order derivative of y w.r.t. x when x=2 and y=3.

Differentiate w.r.t x

Then , we get

$4x+2yy'=0$

$2x+yy'=0$

$yy'=-2x$

$y'=-\frac{2x}{y}$

Again differentiate w.r.t.x

Then , we get

$2+(y')^2+yy''=0$ $(u\cdot v)'=u'v+v'u)$

$2+(y')^2+yy''=0$

Using value of y'

$yy''=-2-(-\frac{2x}{y})^2$

$y''=-\frac{2+(-\frac{2x}{y})^2}{y}$

Substitute x=2 and y=3

Then, we get $y''=-\frac{2+(\frac{4}{3})^2}{3}$

$y''=-\frac{18+16}{9\times 3}=-\frac{34}{27}$

Hence,y''=-1.26

vfiekz [6]

we are given

In a particularly sunny month, Solaire's solar panels generated 110 percent as much power as expected.

so, we need to change percent into fraction to get our value

we can write

110%= $\frac{110}{100}$

now, we can simplify it

and we get

110%= $\frac{11}{10}$

so,

Solaire's solar panels generate $\frac{11}{10}$ of the expected amount of power.............Answer
