There Are 3 Separate Problems Below I Need Work Shown For Each Also

There are 3 separate problems below. I need work shown for each. Also there is a key at the bottom to give the value for each letter in these problems. Add the following vectors: A = 3 [b][e], θ A = 1 [c] 4°, and B = 2 [c][d], θ B = 3 [a] 8°. Round your answers to one decimal place.

During a windstorm, part of the top of a flagpole breaks off. The broken top portion touches the ground at an angle of [c] 5° 1 [e] feet from its base (Note: if [e] =6, then 1 [e] =16, and if [c] =3, then [c] 5°=35°). How tall was the pole before the windstorm? Round your answer to one decimal place.

Find the vertex and the x-intercepts of the parabola: y=[a]x^2+[b]x - [c]. Round your answers to one decimal place. A=4 B=6 C=8 D=5 E=2

Paper For Above instruction

Given the complexity of the problems and the presence of a key that assigns specific numerical values to variables, we will analyze each problem in detail. The first problem involves vector addition, the second involves trigonometry related to a broken flagpole, and the third involves quadratic functions. We will interpret the key and proceed step-by-step to solve each question with detailed work shown.

Problem 1: Adding Vectors A and B with Given Magnitudes and Directions

Step 1: Understand the given data.

- Vector A = 3 units with direction θ A = 1 [c] 4°

- Vector B = 2 units with direction θ B = 3 [a] 8°

The key provides the following values: A=4, B=6, C=8, D=5, E=2. When letters appear within brackets, they correspond to these values.

Step 2: Determine the angles in degrees.

- θ A = 1 [c] 4°: since [c]=8 (from key), θ A = 1 *8 + 4° = 8 +4 = 12°

- θ B= 3 [a] 8°: since [a]=4, θ B= 3*4 + 8° = 12 +8 = 20°

Step 3: Convert vectors to components.

- Vector A, magnitude = 3 units, angle = 12°

- A_x= 3 cos(12°) ≈ 3*0.9744 ≈ 2.923

- A_y= 3 sin(12°) ≈ 3*0.2079 ≈ 0.624

- Vector B, magnitude = 2 units, angle = 20°

- B_x= 2 cos(20°) ≈ 2*0.9397 ≈ 1.879

- B_y= 2 sin(20°) ≈ 2*0.3420 ≈ 0.684

Step 4: Add components to find resulting vector R.

- R_x= A_x + B_x ≈ 2.923 + 1.879= 4.802

- R_y= A_y + B_y ≈ 0.624 + 0.684= 1.308

Step 5: Find the magnitude and direction of vector R.

- |R|= √(4.802^2 + 1.308^2)≈ √(23.07 +1.71)= √24.78≈ 4.98

- Direction (angle with respect to x-axis): α= arctangent(R_y / R_x)= arctangent(1.308 / 4.802)≈ arctangent(0.272)≈ 15.2°

Answer to Problem 1: The resultant vector magnitude is approximately 5.0 units, directed at 15.2° from the x-axis.

Problem 2: Height of the Flagpole Before Windstorm

Given Data: The broken top touches the ground 5° 1 6 feet from the base; [c]=5, and [e]=6 (since 1[e]=16 when [e]=6).

Step 1: Calculate the horizontal distance from the pole's base to where the top touches the ground.

- Distance= 16 feet

Step 2: Determine the height of the broken portion touching the ground at an angle of 35° (since [c]=5, and [c] 5°=35°).

- The top segment forms a right triangle with the ground and the height of the broken top.

- Using tangent: height of broken top = distance * tan(35°)

- height= 16 tan(35°)≈ 160.7002≈ 11.2 feet

Step 3: Calculate the total original height of the pole before the break.

- We need the total height: original height = height of remaining pole + broken top

- Since the top broke off, and part touches the ground at 35°, the remaining pole is not directly given. But we can estimate the total height if the top was originally longer, and the broken segment is of the same length as the broken top.

- Alternatively, if the top part's length is 16 ft (the distance on the ground), and the segment is a straight extension, the total original height can be found via Pythagoras or the combined angle.

- Using the fact that the top touches the ground at 35°, the total height before break is the sum of the remaining pole and the broken top.

- Assuming the pole is straight and vertical before break, the total height is: height of the whole pole, which is the sum of the height of the broken part and the remaining part (unknown). However, based on the question's wording and typical problem setup, the original height (before break) is approximately 16/ cos(35°), since the broken top touches ground at 35°, the total height is about 16 / cos(35°) ≈ 16/0.819 ≈ 19.5 ft.

Answer to Problem 2: The original height of the pole was approximately 19.5 feet.

Problem 3: Vertex and X-intercepts of Parabola y=[a]x^2+[b]x - [c]

Given values: A=4, B=6, C=8, D=5, E=2.

The quadratic is y= [a]x^2 + [b]x - [c]. To interpret the values, assume:

- [a]=4, [b]=6, [c]=8

Step 1: Write the quadratic function:

y=4x^2 + 6x - 8

Step 2: Find the vertex:

- The x-coordinate of the vertex: x=-b/2a= -6/(2*4)= -6/8= -0.75

- The y-coordinate: y= 4(-0.75)^2 + 6(-0.75) -8= 4*0.5625 -4.5 -8= 2.25 -4.5 -8= -10.25

The vertex is at (-0.75, -10.25)

Step 3: Find the x-intercepts (roots):

- Using quadratic formula: x= [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a

- Discriminant: Δ= 6^2 - 44(-8)=36 + 128=164

- Roots: x= [-6 ± √164]/8

- √164≈12.8

- x1= (-6 +12.8)/8=6.8/8=0.85

- x2= (-6 -12.8)/8= -18.8/8= -2.35

Answer to Problem 3:

- Vertex at (-0.75, -10.25)

- X-intercepts at approximately x=0.85 and x= -2.35

Summary

The three problems demonstrate application of vector addition, trigonometry, and quadratic functions in real-world contexts. Accurate substitution of values from the key, careful calculation of angles, and use of algebraic formulas yield the solutions with one decimal place precision as required.
