Paul and jose are trying to measure the height of a tree. paul is standing 19m from the foot of the tree and measures the angle
of elevation to the top of the tree to be 59o. jose measures it to be 43o, how far is jose from the base of the tree?
1 answer:
The firts thig we are going to do is create tow triangles using the angles of elevation of Paul and Jose. Since the problem is not giving us their height we'll assume that the horizontal line of sight of both of them coincide with the base of the tree.
We know that Paul is 19m from the base of the tree and its elevation angle to the top of the tree is 59°. We also know that the elevation angle of Jose and the top of the tree is 43°, but we don't know the distance between Paul of Jose, so lets label that distance as
.
Now we can build a right triangle between Paul and the tree and another one between Jose and the tree as shown in the figure. Lets use cosine to find h in Paul's trianlge:
Now we can use the law of sines to find the distance between Paul and Jose:
Now that we know the distance between Paul and Jose, the only thing left is add that distance to the distance from Paul and the base of the tree:
We can conclude that Jose is 33.9m from the base of the tree.

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the Taylor series of sinc(x) we will use the taylor series of sin(x). We have that
which is the taylor series expansion based at 0. Then for , by dividing both sidex by x, we have that
which is the taylor series expansion for the sinc function. Since the series of sine converges for every value of x. Then the taylor series of sinc converges for every value of x, but 0.

Step-by-step explanation:
Below is the rectangle in the attachment.
Current scale:
1 cm : 6 inches
If the dimensions of the rectangle is:
Length = a cm
Width = b cm
Using the scale:
Length = a × 6 inches
Width = b × 6 inches
Using the same dimensions of the rectangle is:
Length = a cm
Width = b cm
Using the scale:
Length = a × 12 inches
Width = b × 12 inches
Note that there is an enlargement of the rectangle to form the new rectangle. The length and width of new rectangle drawn will be 2 × the length and width of the rectangle seen below.

Step-by-step explanation:
The domain of a function is the set for which the function is defined. Our function is the function . This function is defined regardless of the value of x, so it is defined for every real value of x. That is, it's domain is the set {x|x is a real number}.
The range of the function is the set of all possible values that the function might take, that is {y|y=6x-4}. Recall that every real number y could be written of the form y=6x-4 for a particular x. So the range of the function is the set {y|y is a real number}.
Note that as x gets bigger, the value of 6x-4 gets also bigger, then it doesn't approach any particular number. Note also that as x approaches - infinity, the value of 6x-4 approaches also - infinity. In this case, we don't have any horizontal asymptote. Since the function is defined for every real number, it doesn't have any vertical asymptote. Since h is a linear function, it cannot have any oblique asymptote, then h doesn't have any asymptote.
