Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is representing the graph of parabola which opens down and its pick is its vertex
<u>The vertex is calculated by vertex formula:</u>
- x = -b/2a for the equation y = ax² + bx + c
<u>In our case t is the vertex and its value is:</u>
- t = -42/(-1.5*2) = 42/3 = 14 seconds
You multiply length times width times height.
If we let
x as the distance traveled by the boat
y as the distance between the boat and the lighthouse.
Then, we have:
tan 18°33' = 200 / (x + y)
and
tan 51°33' = 200 / y
Solving for y in the second equation:
y = 200 / tan 51°33'
Rearranging the first equation and substituting y
x = 200 / tan 18°33' - 200 / tan 55°33'
x = 458.81 ft
Therefore, the boat traveled 458.81 ft before it stopped.
Answer:
1. 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
When it says the ratio is 5 to 2, that means 5 is always first:
5 : 2 is correct
5/2 is correct
10 : 4 is correct (multiplied 2 on both sides)
2/5 is incorrect because 2 is first. That means that this ratio would be 2 to 5, not 5 to 2.
