A power failure on the bridge of a Great Lakes freighter has resulted in the ship's navigator having to do her own calculations. She measures the angle between the ship's course and a lighthouse on shore as 32°. After the ship has travelled 1500 m, she measures the angle to be 72°. Determine if the ship was closer to or farther from the lighthouse at the second sighting, and by what distance. (4 marks)


It is impossible to measure the length of a particular swamp directly. Kendra put a stake in the ground and measured from the stake to opposite ends of the swamp, the results being 410 m and 805 m. She measured the angle between the distances to be 57°. What is the length of the swamp? (4 marks)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The ship is closer

2) 675.73 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The initial angle between the ship's course and the lighthouse = 32°

The final angle between the ship's course and the lighthouse = 72°

The distance traveled by the sip between he two positions = 1500 m

Therefore we have a triangle formed between the distance covered by the ship and the two distances of the ship from the lighthouse, a and b

Where;

a = The initial distance fro the lighthouse

b = The final distance fro the lighthouse

The angles of the triangle are

32°, (180 - 72) = 108° and 180 - 32 - 108 = 40°

By sine rule we have;

1500/(sin(40)) = a/(sin(108)) = b/(sin(32)) =

Therefore, a = sin(108°) × 1500/(sin(40°)) = 2219.37 m

b = (sin(32°)) × 1500/(sin(40°)) = 1236.61 m

Therefore, a  > b

The initial distance fro the lighthouse > The final distance fro the lighthouse, which shows that the ship is closer

2) By cosine rule we have

a² = b² + c² - 2× b×c×cos(A)

Where the given measurements by Kendra are;

410 m and 805 m with an included (in between) angle of 57°, we have;

Let b = 410 m, c = 805 m, and A  = 57°, we have;

a² = 410^2 + 805^2 - 2× 410×805×cos(57 degrees) = 456608.77 m²

a = The length of the stream = 675.73 m.

Answers

Answer:

2, 6, 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 1) substitute x = - 1 into f(x)

f(- 1) = 2(- 1)³ - 3(- 1)² + 7 = 2(- 1) - 3(1) + 7 = - 2 - 3 + 7 = 2

Similarly

f(1) = 2(1)³ - 3(1)² + 7 = 2(1) - 3(1) + 7 = 2 - 3 + 7 = 6

What value of x is in the solution set of –5x – 15 > 10 + 20x? –2 –1 0 1

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

5x – 15 > 10 + 20x

Subtract 5x from each side

5x – 15-5x > 10 + 20x-5x

-15 > 10+15x

Subtract 10 from each side

-15-10 >15x

-25 > 15x

Which Mean Absolute Deviation represents more consistency? 15.2 or 10.9

Answers

Answer:

10.9

Step-by-step Explanation:

The Mean Absolute Deviation of a given data set tells us how far apart, on average, each data value is to the mean of the data set.

The smaller the Mean Absolute Deviation of a given data set is, the closer each data value is to the mean. This also implies less variability of the data set.

Invariably, the smaller the M.A.D, which connotes less variability, the more consistent the data set is.

Therefore, a M.A.D of 10.9 represents more consistency than a M.A.D of 15.2

Morgan rewrote the expression 90 + (10 + 4.8) as (90 + 10) + 4.8. How will this change the work that is needed to evaluate the expression? PLZ I NEED THIS PLZ HELP ME

Answers

If the expression is kept in its original form, you would add 10 and 4.8 together to get 14.8 and then add 90 to receive an answer of 104.8. With the reworked expression, you add 90 and 10 first to get 100 and then add 4.8 to receive 104.8.

Answer: Because of PEMDAS, the way Morgan rewrote the expression would change the the order of the steps to simplify it.

Step-by-step explanation: PEMDAS is the order of operations and it stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Addition, and Subtraction. If we simplify Morgan's version of the expression, we would add 90+10 first, which makes 100, then add 4.8 which makes 104.8. We come to the same conclusion when simplifying the original expression, 104.8. The difference is that we add 10+4.8 first and then add it to 90. While in this situation, the outcome was not different, the order of operations was changed.

If the equation of the line is

A. 10
B. 5
C. 2
D. -1

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

(5y + 1)/10 = x

Multiply each side by 10

(5y + 1)/10*10 =10 x

(5y + 1) = 10x

Subtract 1

5y +1-1 = 10x-1

5y = 10x-1

Divide by 5

5y/5 = 10x/5 - 1/5

y = 2x-1/5

This is in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 2

Answers

Answer:

Correct answer is a. 2x + 3 y = 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of centroid be (h,k)

{h/3 , (-2+k)/3}

h = (2 – 2 + a)/3 = a/3 ---eqn 1

k= ( - 3+ 1 + b )/3 = (-2 + b)/3 -----eqn 2

Where (x,y) are any point on the line 2x+3y=1

3h = a and 3k + 2 = b

From 2x +3y = 1,

Then, 2h +3k = 1, 3k = 1 - 2h -----eqn 3

b = 1 - 2h + 2 = 3 - 2h

also b = 3 - 2a/3

b = (9 -2a)/3

3b = 9 - 2a

3b + 2a = 9

Now (x,y) satisfy the point on the line 2x+3y=9

So the locus is 2x + 3 y = 9.
