asked 04/11/23Help with precalculus work
(I was able to solve some of the equation. (Those answers are in bold.) I just need some help finishing the equation.)
There should be 4 solutions for B but I can only find 2 and I'm just completely confused on how to find the answer for C.
An airplane is asked to stay within a holding pattern near Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. The function d(x) = 75sin(0.65x) + 145 represents the distance, d, in miles, of the airplane from the airport at time ,, in minutes.
A) When the plane enters the holding pattern, x = 0 , how far is it from O'Hare?
When the plane enters the holding pattern, the plane is 145 miles.
B) During the first 20 minutes after the plane enters the holding pattern, at what time is the plane exactly 130 miles from the airport? Round to the nearest thousandth.
The time when the plane is exactly 130 miles from the airport are {5.143,9.356}
) During the first 20 minutes after the plane enters the holding pattern, at what time, z, is the plane more than 130 miles from the airport?
The plane is more than 130 miles from the airport during these intervals.....

Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
sin.65x = 0
.65x = 0, pi, 2pi, 3pi
x = 0, pi/.65, 2pi/.65, 3pi/.65, ...
= 0, 4.83322, 9,66644, 14.49966 when it's 145 miles away
75sin.65x +145 = 130 miles
75sin.65x = 130-145 = -15
sin.65x = -15/75 = -1/5=-.2
.65x = the angle whose sign = -.2 = -.20136 or pi+.20136
x = -.20136/.65 = or (2pi-.201)/.65 = 9.357
or
x= 3.343/.65 = 5.143 minutes = exactly the same answer you have,
for more solutions, look for more cycles of the sine wave
if x is measured in radians. which is how you got 5.143
if x is measured in degrees, you get different answers
75sin.65x + 145 = 130
75sin.65x = -15
sin.65x = -15/75=-.2
.65x = the angle whose sine = -.2 = -11.537 or 180+11.537 = 191.537
x = 191.537/.65 = 294.672 minutes
or use a graphing calculator, on line or hand held type

Here is a Desmos graph that should help you find the answers. You are missing some values for part B. Once you have looked over the graph, taken some notes, if you still need help, post a comment. desmos.com/calculator/lbm9fkzuvx04/11/23
