A boat approaches a 50 -ft-high lighthouse whose base is at sea level. Let \(d\) be the distance between the boat and the base of the lighthouse. Let \(L\) be the distance between the boat and the top of the lighthouse. Let \(\theta\) be the angle of elevation between the boat and the top of the lighthouse. a. Express \(d\) as a function of \(\theta\) b. Express \(L\) as a function of \(\theta\)
A pole of length \(L\) is carried horizontally around a corner where a 3 -ft- wide hallway meets a 4 -ft-wide hallway. For \(0<\theta<\pi / 2,\) find the relationship between \(L\) and \(\theta\) at the moment when the pole simultaneously touches both walls and the corner \(P .\) Estimate \(\theta\) when \(L=10 \mathrm{ft}\)
The surface area of a sphere of radius \(r\) is \(S=4 \pi r^{2} .\) Solve for \(r\) in terms of \(S\) and graph the radius function for \(S \geq 0\)
The height of a baseball hit straight up from the ground with an initial velocity of \(64 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) is given by \(h=f(t)=\) \(64 t-16 t^{2},\) where \(t\) is measured in seconds after the hit. a. Is this function one-to-one on the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 4 ?\) b. Find the inverse function that gives the time \(t\) at which the ball is at height \(h\) as the ball travels upward. Express your answer in the form \(t=f^{-1}(h)\). c. Find the inverse function that gives the time \(t\) at which the ball is at height \(h\) as the ball travels downward. Express your answer in the form \(t=f^{-1}(h)\). d. At what time is the ball at a height of \(30 \mathrm{ft}\) on the way up? e. At what time is the ball at a height of \(10 \mathrm{ft}\) on the way down?
