Afirework is launched at the rate of 10 feet per second from a point on the ground 50 feet from an observer. to 2 decimal places in radians per second, find the rate of change of the angle of elevation when the firework is 40 feet above the ground. type your answer in the space below. if your answer is a number less than 1, place a leading "0" before the decimal point (ex: 0.35).

The rate of change of the angle of elevation when the firework is 40 feet above the ground is 0.12 radians/second.

First we will draw a right angle triangle ΔABC, where ∠B = 90°

Lets, assume the height(AB) = h and base(BC)= x

If the angle of elevation, ∠ACB = α, then

tan(α) =

Taking inverse trigonometric function, α = tan⁻¹ () .............(1)

As we need to find the rate of change of the angle of elevation, so we will differentiate both sides of equation (1) with respect to time (t) :

Here, the firework is launched from point B at the rate of 10 feet/second and when it is 40 feet above the ground it reaches point A,

that means h = 40 feet and = 10 feet/second.

C is the observer's position which is 50 feet away from the point B, so x = 50 feet.

= 0.12 (Rounding up to two decimal places)

So, the rate of change of the angle of elevation is 0.12 radians/second.

courtesan no naked yes

hope this ^_^

do you see a nakes

i would pic false cause it goes down towards negative
