Answer:

Both the boats will closet together at 2:21:36 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that - At 2 pm boat 1 leaves dock and heads south and boat 2 heads east towards the dock. Assume the dock is at origin (0,0).

Speed of boat 1 is 20 km/h so the position of boat 1 at any time (0,-20t),

        Formula :   d=v*t

at 2 pm boat 2 was 15 km due west of the dock because it took the boat 1 hour to reach there at 15 km/h, so the position of boat 2 at that time was (-15,0)

the position of boat 2 is changing towards east, so the position of boat 2 at any time (-15+15t,0)

      Formula : D=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

⇒                     D = \sqrt{20^2t^2+15(t-1)^2}

Now let           F(t) = D^2(t)

                ∵    F'(t) = 800t + 450(t-1) =  1250t -450\\F'(t) =0

⇒                     t= 450/1250

⇒                     t= .36 hours

⇒                       = 21 min 36 sec

Since F"(t)=0,

∴ This time gives us a minimum.

Thus, The two boats will closet together at 2:21:36 pm.

The robber stole 280 dollars' worth of one-dollar bills. He also stole some 100-dollar bills, 50-dollar bills, and 20-dollar bil
salantis [7]
E, because he is stealing everything, meaning he has a net profit. So, you would add everything. Since he 280 $1 bills, he just stole $280 which is a definite quantity, so we don't need a variable for it. Since everything else are indefinite quantities, we need variables (x, y, z). But, yeah, E should be the answer.

The graph of a trigonometric function oscillates between y=1 and y=-7. It reaches its
madam [21]

Answer:

y = 4 sin(½ x) − 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is either sine or cosine:

y = A sin(2π/T x) + C

y = A cos(2π/T x) + C

where A is the amplitude, T is the period, and C is the midline.

The midline is the average of the min and max:

C = (1 + -7) / 2

C = -3

The amplitude is half the difference between the min and max:

A = (1 − -7) / 2

A = 4

The maximum is at x = π, and the minimum is at x = 3π.  The difference, 2π, is half the period.  So T = 4π.

Plugging in, the options are:

y = 4 sin(½ x) − 3

y = 4 cos(½ x) − 3

Since the maximum is at x = π, this must be a sine wave.

y = 4 sin(½ x) − 3

The area of a rectangular city park is 25/54 square miles. The length of the park is 5/9 miles. What is the width of the park?
alexdok [17]
Hi

We know that Area= length * width right?

So this is what we do.

Total area/length

25/54 / 5/9

You get the width to be 5/6

CHECK:
5/6*5/9=25/54

Hope this helps :)
