The altitude h (in m) of a jet as a function of the horizontal distance x (in km) it has traveled is given by h = 0.000104x4 - 0.0417x3 + 4.21x2 - 8.33x. Find the instantaneous rate of change of h with respect to x for x = 120km.

Answer #1

To do any instantaneous rate of change problem first we need to do first order derivative of the given function. After derivative substitute the given value in the function. By that we get the result.

Radar Avoidance A high-performance jet plane, practicing radar avoidance maneuvers, is in horizontal flight of h = 55 m above the level ground. Suddenly, the plane encounters terrain that slopes gently upward at 4.3°, an amount difficult to detect (see Figure 2-22). How much time does the pilot have to make a correction to avoid flying into the ground? The speed of the plane is 1050 km/h.
