The pilot of a helicopter sights a fire at an angle of depression of 11°.
The helicopter's altitude is 1700 feet.
To the nearest foot, what is the distance from the helicopter to the fire?
8909 ft
3204 ft
8746 ft
3300 ft
Answers
Answer:
The distance from the helicopter to the fire is 8909 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the attached figure
The pilot of a helicopter sights a fire at an angle of depression of 11° i.e. [tex]\angle ACB = 11^{\circ}[/tex]
The helicopter's altitude is 1700 feet.i.e.AB = 1700 feet
We are supposed to find the distance from the helicopter to the fire i.e. AC
Using trigonometric ratios
[tex]Sin \theta = Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\Sin 11^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{AC}\\\\Sin 11^{\circ}=\frac{1700}{AC}\\\\AC=\frac{1700}{Sin 11^{\circ}}\\\\AC=\frac{1700}{0.1908}\\\\AC=8909.85 feet[/tex]
Hence the distance from the helicopter to the fire is 8909 feet.

A prediction for the volume at 105 seconds is 497 cm3.
Is this a reasonable prediction?
No, there is no recognizable pattern in the data
from which to make a prediction.
Yes, the first differences are all around -70, so a
linear function is a good model. Subtracting 70 from
567 results in 497 cm3.
No, the first differences are 15, so a linear function
is a good model. Subtracting 15 from 567 results in
552 cm3
Yes, the average rate of change is about 8.

Find the area of the irregular figure. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the figure = Area of semicircle + area of rectangle
Area of semicircle:
d = 14 mm
r = 14/2 = 7 mm
Area = (1/2)πr²
[tex]=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{22}{7}*7*7\\[/tex]
=11 *7
= 77 mm²
Area of rectangle:
length = 14 mm
Width = 10 mm
Area = length *width
= 14 * 10
= 140 mm²
Area of the figure = 77 + 140 = 217 mm²

Moore's law states that the maximum number of transistors that can fit on a silicon chip doubles every two years. The function f(x)= 42(1.41) to the X power model the number of transistors, in millions, that can fit on a chip, where X is the number of years since 2000. Using this model, in what year can a chip hold 1 billion transistors?
Answers
Answer:
multiply 42 m by 1.41 = 59.22
59.22 x 59.22 = 3507.0084
3507 = 3 billion

Answer: 1.85 + x = 5.30
Step-by-step explanation: If we know that Ethan planted a tree that was 1.85 meters tall from the start and several years later it's 5.30 meters tall, we know that something must have been added to the 1.85 in order to get 5.30 meters tall. Since we don't know what that value is, we can use x.
X is an example of a variable. A variable is just a letter that represents any number so in this case, it represents how much the tree has grown over a time period of several years.
So we can write this as 1.85 + x = 1.30.

Answers
Answer:
Interval for the function has local minimum of 0 is [2,4].
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find the local minimum of 0 in the given function's graph.
In mathematics, local minimum is a point on a graph whose value is less than all other points near it.
See that, graph value 0 is lie on the x = 3 and in interval x = 2 to x = 4
So, final answer is :
Interval for the function has local minimum of 0 is [2,4].That's the final answer.

HELP ASAP 100 POINTS!!!!
You start with $1000 and every day you will receive the previous day’s total plus an additional $1000 a day for 30 days. How much money will you have after 30 days?
Answers
Answer: After 30 days, you would have $30,000
Step-by-step explanation: The question clearly gives us a progression which is best described as an arithmetic progression, that is, every term (or every day's amount of money) is determined by adding a fixed amount to what you already have from the previous term (or previous day).
In order to determine the amount earned after a given number of days, we will begin by determining a formula that can be suited for calculating all through any given number of days.
The first amount is fixed already, and we shall call that a. So a equals 1000. The amount added to that is 1000, so for day 2, you shall have 1000 plus 1000 which gives you 2000. The amount added we shall call d, so for day one you earned 1000, for day two you earned 1000 plus 1000. For day three you will earn 2000 plus 1000, which gives you 3000.
Having taken day one as a, and each successive 1000 as d, observe the following trend;
Day 1 = a
Day 2 = a + d
Day 3 = a + (3 - 1)d which gives you a + 2d
Since the first day has been represented by a, the third day shall be less by one common difference which is d. Hence the formula for day n can be expressed as follows;
Day ₙ = a + (n - 1)d
Where n is the number of days, the nth day shall be less by 1 since the term already includes day 1, which is the first term, hence every term shall always be less by 1. In other words, the 30th day (or 30th term) shall be less by 1 shown as follows
Day 30 = 1000 + (30 - 1) 1000
Day 30 = 1000 + (29 x 1000)
Day 30 = 1000 + 29000
Day 30 = 30000
Answer:
You would get 1000 everyday because you would get the previous day, you would have 30,000
