1. At the store, you purchase a magic plant that continues to grow straight up indefinitely without pause. For the following questions, assume you remain 10 ft from the base of the plant and both you and the plant are on a straight, flat surface. For all angle calculations, assume 0 < 0 < t/2 and that 0 is formed between the ground where you are standing and the top of the plant. Plant top h You 10 (a) Given the picture above, determine a function, f(h), to describe 0 as a function of h (i.e. 0 = f(h)). (b) Approximately what is the value of 0 (in radians) after the plant has grown to be 20ft tall? Round to the nearest thousandth. (c) Approximately what is the value of 0 (in radians) after the plant has grown to be 100ft tall? Round to the ncarest thousandth.

Solve the following exercises based on Principles 18 through 21, although an exercise may require the application of two or more of any of the principles. Where necessary, round linear answers in inches to 3 decimal places and millimeters to 2 decimal places. Round angular answers in decimal degrees to 2 decimal places and degrees and minutes to the nearest minute. Points A, B, C, D, and E are tangent points. a. If AB=46.00 and DE=66.00 , find 1. b. If AB=53.00 and DE=70.00 , find 1.

Laying Phone Cable City A lies on the north bank of a river that is 1 mile wide. You need to run a phone cable from City A to City B, which lies on the opposite bank 5 miles down the river. You will lay L miles of the cable along the north shore of the river, and from the end of that stretch of cable you will lay W miles of cable running under water directly toward City B. See Figure 2.108. Figure 2.108 You will need the following fact about right triangles: A right triangle has two legs, which meet at the right angle, and the hypotenuse, which is the longest side. An ancient and beautiful formula, the Pythagorean theorem, relates the lengths of the three sides: Lengthofhypotenuse=Lengthofoneleg2+Lengthofotherleg2 a. Find an appropriate right triangle that shows that W=1+(5L)2 b. Find a formula for the length of the total phone cable P from City A to City B as a function of L. c. Make a graph of the total phone cable length P as a function of L, and explain what the graph is showing. d. What value of L gives the least length for the total phone cable? Draw a picture showing the least-length total phone cable.
