to avoid a large shallow reef a ship set a course from point a and traveled 24 miles east to point b . the ship them turn and tr

aveled 33 miles south to point c. if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c about how many miles could it have saved

First, we are going to find the distance traveled by the ship adding the tow distances:
Distance traveled= 24 mi +33 mi=57 mi

Next, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from a to c:
d^2=24^2+33^2
d^2=576+1089
d^2=1665
d= \sqrt{1665}
d=40.8 mi

Finally, we are going to subtract the two distances:
57 mi -40.8 mi= 16.2 mi

We can conclude that <span>if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c, it could have saved 16.2 miles.</span>

What is the 77th derivative of y=sin(3x)?
Nitella [24]
With this, we have have a few things going on here. First notice the chain rule needed for 3x and then that d/dx sinx = cosx , d/dx cosx = -sin× , d/dx -sinx = - cos and finally
d/dx -cosx = sinx. In knowing these derivatives, you know that you need to take the derivative FOUR times to return it back to itself. Doing the 77th derivative makes you do taking the derivative in these 4 time "cycles" 19 times (bc 77/4 = 19.25) which leaves you with taking the derivative just ONCE more after the first 76 times. So the 77th derivative of sinx is cosx. That is not all though. Recognixe that you will also multiply it by 3 77times bc of chain rule, so the 77th derivative of sin (3x) is......: ( 3^77 × cos (3x) )
