A sun's rays are vertical at the point A on a planet. At the point B, which is 2105 miles due north of A, the angle of the sun measured to be 7.4°. See the figure. Use this information to approximate the radius and circumference of the planet.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

radius: 1460 micircumference: 9174 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angle of elevation at point B is 7.4°, then the sun is 90° -7.4° = 82.6° from the vertical. This is the measure of the central angle between the two points. That represents a fraction of a circle that is ...

  82.6°/360° = 413/1800 ≈ 0.229444...(repeating)

The relation between the given distance and the circumference is ...

  0.294444C = 2105 mi

  C = 2105 mi/0.294444 ≈ 9174 mi

The radius of the spherical planet is this divided by 2π:

  r = C/(2π) = 9174 mi/(2π) ≈ 1460 mi

The radius of the planet is about 1460 miles; the circumference is about 9174 miles.

What is the position of B on the number line below?
Write your answer as a fraction or mixed number

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 1 4/5

because 1 is completely to the left, and from the distance between 1 and 2 B is at the end of the 4th of 5 sub-segments.

and 1 4/5 would be also 9/5, because B includes the 5 sub-segments (of 5) between 0 and 1. and then the 4 of 5 sub-segments between 1 and 2. so that are 9 sub-segments in total.

and each sub-segment represents 1 out of 5 (= 1/5) parts of each number interval.

therefore, we have 9×1/5 = 9/5.

Differential Equation

Answers

1. The given equation is probably supposed to read

y'' - 2y' - 3y = 64x exp(-x)

First consider the homogeneous equation,

y'' - 2y' - 3y = 0

which has characteristic equation

r² - 2r - 3 = (r - 3) (r + 1) = 0

with roots r = 3 and r = -1. Then the characteristic solution is

[tex]y = C_1 e^{3x} + C_2 e^{-x}[/tex]

and we let y₁ = exp(3x) and y₂ = exp(-x), our fundamental solutions.

Now we use variation of parameters, which gives a particular solution of the form

[tex]y_p = u_1y_1 + u_2y_2[/tex]

where

[tex]\displaystyle u_1 = -\int \frac{64xe^{-x}y_2}{W(y_1,y_2)} \, dx[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle u_2 = \int \frac{64xe^{-x}y_1}{W(y_1,y_2)} \, dx[/tex]

and W(y₁, y₂) is the Wronskian determinant of the two fundamental solutions. This is

[tex]W(y_1,y_2) = \begin{vmatrix}e^{3x} & e^{-x} \\ (e^{3x})' & (e^{-x})'\end{vmatrix} = \begin{vmatrix}e^{3x} & e^{-x} \\ 3e^{3x} & -e^{-x}\end{vmatrix} = -e^{2x} - 3e^{2x} = -4e^{2x}[/tex]

Then we find

[tex]\displaystyle u_1 = -\int \frac{64xe^{-x} \cdot e^{-x}}{-4e^{2x}} \, dx = 16 \int xe^{-4x} \, dx = -(4x + 1) e^{-4x}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle u_2 = \int \frac{64xe^{-x} \cdot e^{3x}}{-4e^{2x}} \, dx = -16 \int x \, dx = -8x^2[/tex]

so it follows that the particular solution is

[tex]y_p = -(4x+1)e^{-4x} \cdot e^{3x} - 8x^2\cdot e^{-x} = -(8x^2+4x+1)e^{-x}[/tex]

and so the general solution is

[tex]\boxed{y(x) = C_1 e^{3x} + C_2e^{-x} - (8x^2+4x+1) e^{-x}}[/tex]

2. I'll again assume there's typo in the equation, and that it should read

y''' - 6y'' + 11y' - 6y = 2x exp(-x)

Again, we consider the homogeneous equation,

y''' - 6y'' + 11y' - 6y = 0

and observe that the characteristic polynomial,

r³ - 6r² + 11r - 6

has coefficients that sum to 1 - 6 + 11 - 6 = 0, which immediately tells us that r = 1 is a root. Polynomial division and subsequent factoring yields

r³ - 6r² + 11r - 6 = (r - 1) (r² - 5r + 6) = (r - 1) (r - 2) (r - 3)

and from this we see the characteristic solution is

[tex]y_c = C_1 e^x + C_2 e^{2x} + C_3 e^{3x}[/tex]

For the particular solution, I'll use undetermined coefficients. We look for a solution of the form

[tex]y_p = (ax+b)e^{-x}[/tex]

whose first three derivatives are

[tex]{y_p}' = ae^{-x} - (ax+b)e^{-x} = (-ax+a-b)e^{-x}[/tex]

[tex]{y_p}'' = -ae^{-x} - (-ax+a-b)e^{-x} = (ax-2a+b)e^{-x}[/tex]

[tex]{y_p}''' = ae^{-x} - (ax-2a+b)e^{-x} = (-ax+3a-b)e^{-x}[/tex]

Substituting these into the equation gives

[tex](-ax+3a-b)e^{-x} - 6(ax-2a+b)e^{-x} + 11(-ax+a-b)e^{-x} - 6(ax+b)e^{-x} = 2xe^{-x}[/tex]

[tex](-ax+3a-b) - 6(ax-2a+b) + 11(-ax+a-b) - 6(ax+b) = 2x[/tex]

[tex]-24ax+26a-24b = 2x[/tex]

It follows that -24a = 2 and 26a - 24b = 0, so that a = -1/12 = -12/144 and b = -13/144, so the particular solution is

[tex]y_p = -\dfrac{12x+13}{144}e^{-x}[/tex]

and the general solution is

[tex]\boxed{y = C_1 e^x + C_2 e^{2x} + C_3 e^{3x} - \dfrac{12x+13}{144} e^{-x}}[/tex]


A bicycle has a listed price of $660.95 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 7.25%, find the total cost of the bicycle with sales tax included.

Answers

Answer:

  $708.87

Step-by-step explanation:

The price with tax included is ...

  660.95 + 0.0725×660.95 = 660.95(1 +0.0725) = 708.87

The total cost of the bicycle with tax is $708.87.

Answer:

$ 708.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Think that, a bicycle has listed price of $ 100,

Listed price              Tax rate            Total cost of the bicycle with sales tax

$ 100                           7.25                       107.25

$ 660.95                                                     x

Let the Total price of the bicycle be x

Now you can create a equation like this,

[tex]\frac{100}{660.95}=\frac{107.25}{x}[/tex]

Use cross multiplication, and find out the total cost of the bicycle with sales tax.

[tex]100x=660.95*107.25[/tex]

[tex]100x=70886.8875[/tex]

[tex]\frac{100x}{100} =\frac{70886.8875}{100} \\[/tex]

[tex]x=708.8688[/tex]

Therefore, the total cost of the bicycle with sales tax is,

≈ $ 708.87

Hope this helps you.

Answer:

Fertilizer puts nitrogen into the soil, so using fertilizer puts more nitrogen into the carbon cycle.

When you use fertilizer, its because a certain plant you are planting uses all the nitrogen in the soil, so it won't grow next time. Too much fertilizer, though, would burn up your plant (not literally). Some plants put their own nitrogen into the soil. I can't think of one off the top of my head, but I believe potatoes do. Anyways, this is where crop rotation came into play.

Things like corn take a lot of nitrogen, so the next time you had to plant whatever plant potatoes, which again may be wrong, in order to get nitrogen for the corn to grow next season. Today we have fertilizer, so we can give them nitrogen while they grow, instead of putting in other plants, taking more time.

So really, it doesn't do much, because your plant takes all the nitrogen that the Fertilizer adds.

Answer:

People have been converting atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen fertilizers and then applying the fertilizers to plants in to grow more crops. This has previously been quite effective, allowing individuals to farm on previously unproductive lands, and provide adequate food for expanding populations of people. Unfortunately, fertilizers are frequently overused, which can lead to issues.

Nitrogen from fertilizers excretes into soils, typically promoting the growth of weeds rather than native vegetation. Nitrogen then washes into streams, resulting in a nutrient overload, a phenomenon known as eutrophication.

Eutrophication causes aquatic weeds to proliferate excessively in freshwater lakes. These aquatic weeds  occasionally occupy entire lakes, streams, or rivers. Green algae cloud the water, and gooey algal slime covers the shallow rocks. 

When nitrogen-rich waters flow down into the ocean, they worsen the situation. High nitrogen concentrations in the Mississippi River Delta have generated a 'dead zone' where the water flows into the Gulf of Mexico. This has occurred every summer for over 30 years. In 2001, this dead zone, where oxygen levels are too low for species to thrive, encompassed over 8000 square miles of water. It occurs when nitrogen in the water enables algae to quickly grow out of control.

For any ϵ>0, we want to find an integer Nϵ such that |xn−L|≤ϵ for any n≥Nϵ.

Since {xnk} is increasing and converges to L, we can find kϵ such that for any k≥kϵ, −ϵ<xnk−L<0.

Take Nϵ=nkϵ, then for any n≥Nϵ, xnkϵ≤xn≤L, so −ϵ≤xnkϵ−L≤xn−L≤0.

a.Find an equation parallel to the equation and through (0,10).


b.Find an equation perpendicular to the equation and through (0,10).

This picture is an example of what the answers should look like.​

Answers

Problem 14, Part (a)

The given equation y = 2(x-10)+3 has a slope of m = 2. Anything parallel to this will also have the same slope, but a different y intercept.

Let's find the point slope form of the parallel line through (-4,1)

[tex]y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y-1 = 2(x - (-4))\\\\y-1 = 2(x + 4)\\\\[/tex]

The point slope form is:  y-1 = 2(x+4)

Now solve for y to get the slope intercept form.

[tex]y-1 = 2(x + 4)\\\\y = 2(x + 4)+1\\\\y = 2x + 8+1\\\\y = 2x + 9\\\\[/tex]

The slope intercept form is:  y = 2x+9

============================================================

Problem 14, Part (b)

The original slope is m = 2. Apply the negative reciprocal to go from 2/1 to -1/2. The perpendicular slope is -1/2.

Using the same point (-4,1), we find that the point slope form is...

[tex]y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y-1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - (-4))\\\\y-1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+4)\\\\[/tex]

The point slope form is:  y-1 = (-1/2)*(x+4)

Now solve for y

[tex]y-1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+4)\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}(x+4)+1\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}x-2+1\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}x-1\\\\[/tex]

The slope intercept form is:  y = (-1/2)x - 1

============================================================

Problem 15, Part (a)

Anything parallel to Ax+By = C will be in the form Ax+By = D. The only thing changes is the C becomes D, where [tex]C \ne D[/tex]. If C = D, then we'd be talking about the exact same line rather than two parallel lines.

We're given 5x+2y = 7. The answer is in the form 5x+2y = D. Plug in (x,y) = (0,10) to find the value of D

5x+2y = D

D = 5x+2y

D = 5(0)+2(10)

D = 20

The equation 5x+2y = D updates to 5x+2y = 20

Answer:  5x+2y = 20

============================================================

Problem 15, Part (b)

If you are given Ax+By = C, then anything perpendicular to this is Bx-Ay = D. Here it's possible that C = D; however, it's likely that they'll be different.

The given equation 5x+2y = 7 is perpendicular to anything of the form 2x-5y = D. We'll plug in the given point to find D.

2x-5y = D

D = 2x-5y

D = 2(0)-5(10)

D = -50
