Answer:

1)  288.8 km due North

2)  144.9 km due East

3)  323.1 km

4)  207°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Bearing</u>: The angle (in degrees) measured clockwise from north.

<u>Trigonometric ratios</u>

\sf \sin(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}\quad\cos(\theta)=\dfrac{A}{H}\quad\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}

where:

  • \theta is the angle
  • O is the side opposite the angle
  • A is the side adjacent the angle
  • H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

<u>Cosine rule</u>

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab \cos C

where a, b and c are the sides and C is the angle opposite side c

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draw a diagram using the given information (see attached).

Create a right triangle (blue on attached diagram).

This right triangle can be used to calculate the additional vertical and horizontal distance the ship sailed after sailing north for 250 km.

<u>Question 1</u>

To find how far North the ship is now, find the measure of the short leg of the right triangle (labelled y on the attached diagram):

\implies \sf \cos(75^{\circ})=\dfrac{y}{150}

\implies \sf y=150\cos(75^{\circ})

\implies \sf y=38.92285677

Then add it to the first portion of the journey:

⇒ 250 + 38.92285677... = 288.8 km

Therefore, the ship is now 288.8 km due North.

<u>Question 2</u>

To find how far East the ship is now, find the measure of the long leg of the right triangle (labelled x on the attached diagram):

\implies \sf \sin(75^{\circ})=\dfrac{x}{150}

\implies \sf x=150\sin(75^{\circ})

\implies \sf x=144.8888739

Therefore, the ship is now 144.9 km due East.

<u>Question 3</u>

To find how far the ship is from its starting point (labelled in red as d on the attached diagram), use the cosine rule:

\sf \implies d^2=250^2+150^2-2(250)(150) \cos (180-75)

\implies \sf d=\sqrt{250^2+150^2-2(250)(150) \cos (180-75)}

\implies \sf d=323.1275729

Therefore, the ship is 323.1 km from its starting point.

<u>Question 4</u>

To find the bearing that the ship is now from its original position, find the angle labelled green on the attached diagram.

Use the answers from part 1 and 2 to find the angle that needs to be added to 180°:

\implies \sf Bearing=180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{Total\:Eastern\:distance}{Total\:Northern\:distance}\right)

\implies \sf Bearing=180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{150\sin(75^{\circ})}{250+150\cos(75^{\circ})}\right)

\implies \sf Bearing=180^{\circ}+26.64077...^{\circ}

\implies \sf Bearing=207^{\circ}

Therefore, as bearings are usually given as a three-figure bearings, the bearing of the ship from its original position is 207°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

let the distance in north direction=x

total distance=250+x km

\frac{x}{150} =cos 75\\x=150 cos 75\approx38.82 km\\

so distance north=240+38.82=278.82 km

2.let the distance to north=y

\frac{y}{150} =sin 75\\y=150 sin 75 \approx 144.89

so distance in East direction=144.89 km.

3.

\frac{38.82}{278.82} =tan \alpha \\\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{38.82}{278.82} )\approx7.93^\circ

Show that the sum of two concave functions is concave. Is the product of two concave functions also concave?
spayn [35]

Answer with explanation:

Let us assume that the 2 functions are:

1) f(x)

2) g(x)

Now by definition of concave function we have the first derivative of the function should be strictly decreasing thus for the above 2 function we conclude that

\frac{d}{dx}\cdot f(x)

Now the sum of the 2 functions is shown below

y=f(x)+g(x)

Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}\cdot f(x)+\frac{d}{dx}\cdot g(x)\\\\

Since each term in the right of the above equation is negative thus we conclude that their sum is also negative thus

\frac{dy}{dx}

Thus the sum of the 2 functions is also a concave function.

Part 2)

The product of the 2 functions is shown below

h=f(x)\cdot g(x)

Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get

h'=\frac{d}{dx}\cdot (f(x)\cdot g(x))\\\\h'=g(x)f'(x)+f(x)g'(x)

Now we can see the sign of the terms on the right hand side depend on the signs of the function's themselves hence we remain inconclusive about the sign of the product as a whole. Thus the product can be concave or convex.

If 433 = 100% then what percent does 383 equal
Goryan [66]

Answer:

88.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

433 - 383 = 50

50 ÷ 433 = 0.1154

0.1154 x 100 = 11.54%

100% - 11.54% = 88.46%

<u>Check work:</u>

433 x 88.46% = 383
