___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.

Consider the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 – 8x – 10. The x-component of the vertex is . The y-component of the vertex is . The

F(x) = 2x² - 8x - 10.
This is a parabola open upward (since a>0) with an axis of symmetry = -b/2a:
a) axis of symmetry: x = -(-8)/(2*2) = 8/4 = 2. Then x = 2, which is the x component of the vertex
b) for x =  2, f(x) = f(2) = - 18 (component of y of the vertex)
c) VERTEX(2, - 18)
d) DISCRIMINENT: b² - 4.a.c = 64 - 4*2*(-10) = 144

A garden in the shape of a right triangle is bordered on one side by a brick wall, on another side by a wooden fence, and on the
MAVERICK [17]
Let
x-----> the measure of the angle formed by the wooden fence and grass

we know that
in a right triangle
tan x=opposite side angle x/adjacent side angle x
opposite side angle x=13 ft
adjacent side angle x=21 ft
so
tan x=13/21x=arc tan (13/21)-----> x=31.76°------> x=32°

the answer is
32 degrees
