In Example 4, notice that as the balloon rises (as θ increases), the rate of change of the angle of elevation decreases to zero. When does the maximum value of
Example 4 Observing a Launch
An observer stands 200 meters from the launch site of a hot-air balloon at an elevation equal to the elevation of the launch site. The balloon rises vertically at a constant rate of 4 m/s. How fast is the angle of elevation of the balloon increasing 30 seconds after the launch? (The angle of elevation is the angle between the ground and the observer’s line of sight to the balloon.)

- Start with a circle of radius r=9. Form the two shaded regions pictured below. Let f(6) be the area of the shaded region on the left which has an arc and two straight line sides. Let g(6) be the area of the shaded region on the right which is a right triangle. Note that the areas of these two regions will be functions of 6; r=9 is fixed in the problem. 0 f(0) (a) Find a formula for f(6)= | | (b)Find a formula for g(6)= lim ƒ (6) (c) 80 = lim g (0) (d) 80 = lim (e) [f(8)/g(6)]= 0 g(0)arrow_forwardMy teacher's answer is: 4a⁷b⁶arrow_forwardExplain to me why the answer is: 4a⁷b⁶ if not then defend yoursarrow_forward
