Answer:

197.93 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base camp is point A and boats' locations after two hours are points B and C.

By connecting the three points together we get a triangle ABC with sides:

AB = 50*2 = 100 km
AC = 70*2 = 140 km

The angle between AB and AC is:

60 + 50 = 110 degrees (opposite directions from south)

We are looking for the distance BC, which can be found by using the law of cosines:

BC² = AB² + AC² - 2AB*AC*cos ∠BAC

BC² = 100² + 140² - 2*100*140*cos 110°
BC² = 39176.56 (rounded)
BC = √39176.56 = 197.93 km (rounded)

The distance between the boats is 197.93 km.

For the function y=3x2: (a) Find the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval [3,6]. (b) Find the instant

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ at the value $x = 3$ is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Geometrically speaking, the average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval by definition of secant line:

$r = \frac{y(b) -y(a)}{b-a}$ (1)

Where:

$a$ , $b$ - Lower and upper bounds of the interval.

$y(a)$ , $y(b)$ - Function exaluated at lower and upper bounds of the interval.

If we know that $y = 3\cdot x^{2}$ , $a = 3$ and $b = 6$ , then the average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval is:

$r = \frac{3\cdot (6)^{2}-3\cdot (3)^{2}}{6-3}$

$r = 27$

The average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval $[3,6]$ is 27.

b) The instantaneous rate of change can be determined by the following definition:

$y' = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{y(x+h)-y(x)}{h}$ (2)

Where:

$h$ - Change rate.

$y(x)$ , $y(x+h)$ - Function evaluated at $x$ and $x+h$ .

If we know that $x = 3$ and $y = 3\cdot x^{2}$ , then the instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ is:

$y' = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{3\cdot (x+h)^{2}-3\cdot x^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^{2}-x^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2\cdot h\cdot x +h^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 6\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} x +3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} h$

$y' = 6\cdot x$

$y' = 6\cdot (3)$

$y' = 18$

The instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ at the value $x = 3$ is 18.

Maria stated that 5/6 is between 4/5 and 6/7

Vlada [557]

Answer:

It's true, if that's what your asking.

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 = 0.833 to 3 sig.fig.

4/5 = 0.800 to 3 sig.fig.

6/7 = 0.857 to 3 sig.fig.

0.833 is more than 0.800 and less than 0.857.
