The bearing of R from P is 019 and the distance |PR| is 8.75

<h3>The complete question</h3>

A cyclist set out from a town P on a bearing of 060 to a town Q, 5 km away. He then moves on a bearing of 345 to a town R, 6km from Q.

<h3>The diagram that represents the information</h3>

See attachment

<h3>The bearing of R from P</h3>

Start by calculating the distance PR using the following cosine ratio

PR² = PQ² + QR² - 2 * PQ * PR cos(Q)

Substitute known values

PR² = 5² + 6² - 2 * 5 * 6 cos(105)

Evaluate

PR² = 76.53

Take the square root of both sides

PR = 8.75

Next, calculate angle R using the following sine ratio

PQ/sin(R) = PR/sin(Q)

Substitute known values

5/sin(R) = 8.75/sin(105)

Evaluate the quotient

5/sin(R) = 9.06

Multiply both sides by sin(R)

9.06 * sin(R) = 5

Divide both sides by 9.06

sin(R) = 0.5519

Take the arc sin of both sides

R = sin⁻¹(0.5519)

Evaluate

R = 34

Calculate angle P using:

P = 180 - 34 - 105

P = 41

The bearing of R from P is then calculated as:

Bearing = 060 - 41

Evaluate

Bearing =  019

Hence, the bearing of R from P is 019

<h3>The distance |PR|​</h3>

In (b), we have:

PR = 8.75

Hence, the distance |PR| is 8.75

Solve x2 + 14x + 17 = –96 for x
jarptica [38.1K]

For this case we have to:

Given the quadratic equation of the form:

ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0

The roots are given by:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

If we have: x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 = -96

We can rewrite it in the following way:

x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 + 96 = 0\\x ^ 2 + 14x + 113 = 0

Where:

a = 1\\b = 14\\c = 113

Where we have:

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(14) ^ 2-4 (1) (113)}} {2 (1)}

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(196-452)}} {2}

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {-256}} {2}

By definition: \sqrt {-1} = i

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {256} i} {2}

x = \frac {-14 \pm16i} {2}

x = \frac {-14} {2} \pm \frac {16i} {2}

x = -7 \pm8i

Thus, the roots are given by imaginary numbers:

x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i

Answer:

x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i

CINDY made costume decorations. She used 1/10 of a meter of ribbon for each decoration which she got by cutting 3/10 of a meter
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Cindy made 3 decorations with the ribbons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Cindy used 1/10 of a metre of ribbon to make just one decoration that she obtained by dividing 3/10 of a meter of ribbon into equal parts, then we can calculate the number of decorations that Cindy made. In this scenario, all we need is an idea on how to divide fractions and we are good to go.

If Cindy used 1/10 of a metre obtained by dividing 3/10 of a metre of ribbon to make decorations, then the number of decorations she made can be gotten by dividing 3/10 by 1/10

i.e 3/10 ÷ 1/10

= 3/10 × 10/1

= 3 decorations.

That is she used 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 = 3/10 to make (3 decorations).

Omar scored an 82% on his first test of the quarter. Will a score of 38 our of 50 on the second test helo or hurt his grade? exp
melamori03 [73]
82% = 82/100

38/50 = 76/100

Average of 76 and 82 = 79

Getting a score of 38 out of 50 will hurt his grade, as it will bring the average down to 79%

A machine is designed to fill 16-ounce bottes of shampoo. When the machine is working properly, the amount poured into the bottl
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

(D) 15.90 to 16.20 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval = mean + or - (t×sd)/√n

Mean = 16.05 ounces, sd = 0.1 ounce, n = 4, degree of freedom = n - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3, t = 3.182

Lower limit = 16.05 - (3.182×0.1)/√4 = 16.05 - 0.15 = 15.90 ounces

Upper limit = 16.05 + (3.182×0.1)/√4 = 16.05 + 0.15 = 16.20 ounces

The sample mean will fall from 15.90 to 16.20 ounces
