A boat sails for 5 hours at 30 mph in a direction 164°56'. How far south has it sailed (to the nearest mile)?

Total distance covered = 5 x 30 = 150 miles
Angle of travel with respect to south pole = 180 - 164°56' = 15°4'

Let the distance southwards covered be x, then
cos 15°4' = x/150
Thus, x = 150 cos 15°4' = 144.84

Therefore, the distance covered southwards = 145 miles to the nearest mile.

A rectangle has a length of x and a width of 5x^3+4-x^2. What is the polynomial that models the perimeter of the rectangle

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

$L= x$

And the width for this case is:

$W= 5x^3 +4 -x^2$

And we know that the perimeter is given by:

$P= 2L +2W$

And replacing we got:

$P(x) = 2x +2(5x^3 +4 -x^2)= 2x +10x^3 +8 -2x^2$

And symplifying we got:

$P(x)= 10x^3 -2x^2 +2x+8$

Step-by-step explanation:
