Problem 42
Surveying A surveyor standing 50 feet from the base of a large tree measures the angle of elevation to the top of the tree as \(71.5^{\circ} .\) How accurately must the angle be measured if the percent error in estimating the height of the tree is to be less than 6\(\% ?\)
Problem 50
Finding Extrema Using Technology In Exercises 49 and 50 , (a) use a computer algebra system to graph the function and approximate any absolute extrema on the given interval. (b) Use the utility to find any critical numbers, and use them to find any absolute extrema not located at the endpoints.
