What is the angle θ of the ramp if monster truck drives off a ramp in order to jump on to a row of cars where the ramp's height is 8 feet and horizontal length of 28 feet?

Answer 1

You use #arctanx# of the angle to find the angle

Because of the picture I will use #angleA# in stead of #theta#

The vertical will be #a# in the picture and the horizontal length will be #b#
Now the tangent of #angleA# will be #tanA=a/b=8/28~~0.286#

Now use the inverse function on your calculator (activated by 2nd or Shift -- usually it says #tan^-1# or #arctan#)

#arctan (8/28)~~15.95^0# and that's your answer.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
