To aid in sea navigation, Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above sea level with an unknown

algol13

Answer:

$\approx 6^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above the sea level.

The angle of depression is unknown.

Distance of the point at sea surface from the base of lighthouse is 865 ft.

This situation can be modeled or can be represented as the figure attached in the answer area.

The situation can be represented by a right angled $\triangle ABC$ in which we are given the base and the height of the triangle.

And we have to find the value of $\angle BAD \ or \ \angle C$ (Because they are the internal vertically opposite angles).

Using tangent ratio:

$tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

$tanC = \dfrac{AC}{BC}\\\Rightarrow tanC = \dfrac{91}{865}\\\Rightarrow tanC = 0.105\\\Rightarrow \angle C \approx 6^\circ$

Therefore, the angle of depression is: $\approx 6^\circ$

Mary was told that a line goes through the points (1, 3) and (6, -2) and has a slope of 3.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

a. The slope is incorrect

b. y = 3x, ( 0 , 0 )

c) y = 4 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

The slope between two points (1, 3) and (6, -2) is 3.

a. Explain why the information Mary was given cannot be correct.

- The slope between two arbitrary points, ( x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2) is given by the following relationship:

slope = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1)

- Use the given points (1, 3) and (6, -2) and determine the slope:

slope = ( -2 - 3 ) / ( 6 - 1 )

slope = ( -5 ) / ( 5 )

slope = -1

- Yes, the given slope is incorrect it should be = -1

b.If the given point (1, 3) and the given slope are correct, what is the equation for the line? Give the coordinates of another point on the line

- We will assume the point (1,3) lies on line with a slope = 3.

- We will use the slope-intercept equation of line:

y = slope*x + c

Where, m : Slope

c : y-intercept

y = 3x + c

Using the given correct point to evaluate the y-intercept (c):

3 = 3*1 + c

c = 0

- The equation of line is,

y = 3x

- The origin (0,0) lies on the line y = 3x.

c. If the given points are correct for the line, what is the slope? Write an equation for the line

- We will assume the points (1, 3) and (6, -2) lies on line with a slope calculated in part (a) to be = -1.

- We will use the slope-intercept equation of line:

y = slope*x + c

Where, m : Slope

c : y-intercept

y = -x + c

Using the given points to evaluate the y-intercept (c):

3 = -1 + c

c = 4

- The equation of line is,

y = -x + 4

The function D(t) defines a traveler's distance from home, in miles, as a function of time, in hours. D(t) = StartLayout enlarge

nalin [4]

- At 2 hours, the traveler is 725 miles from home.

- At 3 hours, the distance is constant, at 880 miles. --> TRUE.

- The total distance from home after 6 hours is 1,062.5 miles --> TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function D(t) is defined as follows:

$D(t) = 300t+125$ for $t< 2.5$

$D(t) = 880$ for $2.5 \leq 3.5$

$D(t) = 75t+612.5$ for $t\leq 6$

Where

t is the time in hours

D(t) is the distance covered, in miles, after t hours

Now let's analyze the different statements:

- The starting distance, at 0 hours, is 300 miles. --> FALSE. In fact, if we substitute t = 0 into the 1st equation, we get

$D(0) = (300)(0)+125 = 125$

So, the distance at t = 0 is 125 miles.

- At 2 hours, the traveler is 725 miles from home. --> TRUE. In fact, if we substitute t = 2 into the 1st equation,

$D(2) = (300)(2)+125 = 725$

- At 2.5 hours, the traveler is 875 miles from home. --> FALSE. In fact, for t=2.5 we have to use the 2nd equation, which states that the distance is:

D(t) = 880

So, not 875 miles.

- At 3 hours, the distance is constant, at 880 miles. --> TRUE. This is clearly visible from the 2nd equation: for t between 2.5 and 3.5 (so, in this case), the distance is

D(t) = 880

- The total distance from home after 6 hours is 1,062.5 miles --> TRUE. In fact, if we replace t = 6 into the last equation,

$D(6)) = 75(6)+612.5=1062.5$
