Ratios
A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.
Trigonometric Ratios
Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.

Chapter 6.1, Problem 28PE

A large weather balloon is tethered by two ropes. One rope measures 23  ft and attaches to the balloon at an angle of 32 ° from the ground. The second rope attaches to the base of the balloon at an angle of 15 ° with the ground.

a. How far from the ground is the balloon floating? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

b. Find the length of the second rope. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot

c. If both ropes suddenly detach and the balloon rises straight up at a rate of 3  ft/ sec , how long will it take the balloon to reach a height of 50  ft from the ground? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.

Students have asked these similar questions
Consider the function f(x) = x²-1. (a) Find the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x=1 using the definition of the derivative. Show all your steps clearly. (b) Sketch the graph of f(x) around x = 1. Draw the secant line passing through the points on the graph where x 1 and x-> 1+h (for a small positive value of h, illustrate conceptually). Then, draw the tangent line to the graph at x=1. Explain how the slope of the tangent line relates to the value you found in part (a). (c) In a few sentences, explain what the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = 1 represents in the context of the graph of f(x). How does the rate of change of this function vary at different points?
1. The graph of ƒ is given. Use the graph to evaluate each of the following values. If a value does not exist, state that fact. и (a) f'(-5) (b) f'(-3) (c) f'(0) (d) f'(5) 2. Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of y = g(x) at x = 5 if g(5) = −3 and g'(5) = 4. - 3. If an equation of the tangent line to the graph of y = f(x) at the point where x 2 is y = 4x — 5, find ƒ(2) and f'(2).
Does the series converge or diverge
