Answer:

6 knots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed be v knots

then time taken to cover 500 M = 500 / v hrs

fuel consumption /hr = 216 + 0.5v^3

let F be the fuel consumption for trip

= [500/v][216 + 0.5v^3]

= 500[216/v + 0.5v^2]

dF/dv = 500[ - 216/v^2 + v]

d^2F/d^2v = 500[432/v^3 + 1] , i.e. +ve

so setting dF/dv will give a minima

500[ -216/v^2 + v] = 0

or v = 216/v^2

or v^3 = 216

solving, we get v = [216]^(1/3) = 6 knots

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

39°

Step-by-step explanation:

A radius of a circle (segment CD) drawn to the point of tangency (D) intersects the tangent (line DE) at a 90-deg angle.

That makes m<D = 90.

m<D + m<C + m<E = 180

90 + 51 + m<E = 180

m<E = 39
