___x____
\             |
  \           |
     \        |   y
 18  \      |
         \    |
           \ *|---2.2 °

This is a vector problem. The distance of drift is in x (horizontal axis). 
remember that Sin Ф=opposite/hypotenuse. x represents the opposite side form the angle, and 18 is the hypotenuse.
Sin 2.2°=x/18
18 sin 2.2°=x
.691 ≈x

The ship drifts off course .691 miles every hour. .691 x 5 = 5.69 miles after 5 hours.

Find an equation in standard form of the parabola passing through the points (1, -2), (2,-2), (3,-4)
Yuliya22 [10]
The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4

double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.

What is the equation for the line of reflection that maps the trapezoid onto itself?
kvv77 [185]
The line that maps a figure onto itself is a line of symmetry of the figure.

From the given trapezoid, the line of symmetry of the trapezoid is x = -2.

Therefore, the <span>equation for the line of reflection that maps the trapezoid onto itself</span> is x = -2.
