See the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that
in the triangle ABC
tan 48°=AB/AC--------> AC=AB/tan48°------> 1200/tan 48°------> 1080.48 ft

in the triangle ABD
tan 33°=AB/AD---------> AD=AB/tan 33°-----> 1200/tan 33°------> 1847.88 ft

<span>the distance between the ships is AD-AC---> 1847.88-1080.48----> 767.4 ft

the answer is 
</span>the distance between the ships is 767.4 ft<span>

</span>

Answer:

<h2>e =7.1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse = 10\\Opposite =e\\Adjacent =7\\\\Using\:Pythagoras\:Theorem\\Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\10^2 =e^2 + 7^2\\100 =e^2+49\\100-49=e^2\\\\51 =e^2\\\sqrt{51} =\sqrt{e^2}\\ e = 7.141\\\\e = 7.1

I hope it helps :)

Answer: y=1/x is the blue line and it goes straight up and down the y and x axis.

y=x^2 is the green line which is a thin "u" like shape. its going up the y axis.

y=\frac{x^{3}}{x^{2}-9} is the red line it goes up and down the y axis and diagonally across the middle of both axis'.

Step-by-step explanation: I went to desmos calculator and typed in your equation and it automatically gave me this graph. (See Picture for more details.)
