<span>N(t) = 16t ; Distance north of spot at time t for the liner.
W(t) = 14(t-1); Distance west of spot at time t for the tanker.
d(t) = sqrt(N(t)^2 + W(t)^2) ; Distance between both ships at time t.
Let's create a function to express the distance north of the spot that the luxury liner is at time t. We will use the value t as representing "the number of hours since 2 p.m." Since the liner was there at exactly 2 p.m. and is traveling 16 kph, the function is
N(t) = 16t
Now let's create the same function for how far west the tanker is from the spot. Since the tanker was there at 3 p.m. (t = 1 by the definition above), the function is slightly more complicated, and is
W(t) = 14(t-1)
The distance between the 2 ships is easy. Just use the pythagorean theorem. So
d(t) = sqrt(N(t)^2 + W(t)^2)
If you want the function for d() to be expanded, just substitute the other functions, so
d(t) = sqrt((16t)^2 + (14(t-1))^2)
d(t) = sqrt(256t^2 + (14t-14)^2)
d(t) = sqrt(256t^2 + (196t^2 - 392t + 196) )
d(t) = sqrt(452t^2 - 392t + 196)</span>
Answer: 1st Choice Starting at the origin go 5 spaces to the right and then 2.5
Answer:
D-- if a is a number between 0 and 1, the quotient will be greater
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay. The formula for simple interest is prt. You multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (percentage) by the time (months or years). $1,800 is the principal and 6.5% is the percentage rate. 1,800 * 6.5% (0.065) is 117. You earn $117 in interest annually. The time period is 30 months. There are 12 months in 1 year. Divide the amount of months by 12 to put it in a decimal. 30/12 is 2.5. Now, multiply 117 by 2.5 to find the total amount of interest earned. 117 * 2.5 is 292.5. There. The total amount of interest earned is $292.50.
If T is the midpoint, then that means its exactly 1/2 of the way between 2 points
this means we can set the 2 given values equal
4x - 3 = 2x + 7
first move like terms to the same side
2x = 10
x = 5
now that we know the length of x, we plug it back in to get the length
4x - 3 + 2x + 7 = 6x + 4
6(5) + 4 = 34
