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

1 answer:

5 0

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.

The answer to this word problem usinf discriminant

solniwko [45]

$\bf h=-9.8t^2+45t+1.2\implies 64.5=-9.8t^2+45t+1.2
\\\\\\
0=-9.8t^2+45t-63.3\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{discriminant of a quadratic}
\\\\\\
0=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{-9.8}t^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+45}t\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-63.3}
~~~~~~
\stackrel{discriminant}{b^2-4ac}=
\begin{cases}
0&\textit{one solution}\\
positive&\textit{two solutions}\\
negative&\textit{no solution}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(45)^2-4(-9.8)(-63.3)\implies -456.36$

the discriminant is a negative value, thus no solution for such quadratic, meaning if we use h=64.5 like we did, there's no "t" seconds at which point the ball hits the batting cage.

What is 13x+15= 11x -25 also expalin plz

kari74 [83]

$13x+15=11x-25 \\ \\ 13x-11x=-25-15 \\\\ 2x=-40 \\\\ \boxed{x=-\frac{40}{2}=-20}$

You pass the free terms wich don't contain 'x' in the othe part of the equal with changed signe ans the same for the terms wich contain x.
