Answer:

Distance= 6.6 miles

Bearing= N 62.854°W

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's determine angle b first

Angle b=20° (alternate angles)

Using cosine rule

Let the distance between the liner and the port be x

X² =8.8²+2.4²-2(8.8)(2.4)cos20

X²= 77.44 + 5.76-(39.69)

X²= 43.51

X= √43.51

X= 6.596

X= 6.6 miles

Let's determine the angles within the triangle using sine rule

2.4/sin b = 6.6/sin20

(2.4*sin20)/6.6= sin b

0.1244 = sin b

7.146= b°

Angle c= 180-20-7.146

Angle c= 152.854°

For the bearing

110+7.146= 117.146

180-117.146= 62.854°

Bearing= N 62.854°W

What is the ratio 14/15 expressed in simplest form? <br><br><br><br> PLZZ HELP!
agasfer [191]

14  and  15  have no common factor except ' 1 ' ,
so the fraction  14/15  can't be simplified.

It's already in the simplest available form ("lowest terms").

I believe y=-x+8 cause you would take the 2 then subtract it to the 16 for it to turn into 2y=-2x+16 then you take the 2y and divide

Help find out what the x is please
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to add 8.8 to 7.2 and get 16 because you want to get x alone

Next divide divide 4x on both sides so 4x/4x cross out and left with just x. 16/4 =4

x=4

Hope this helps!

What is the domain and range of the function y = 2x2 - 4x - 10?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of all polynomials is all real numbers.  To find the range, let's solve that quadratic for its vertex.  We will do this by completing the square.  To begin, set the quadratic equal to 0 and then move the -10 over by addition. The first rule is that the leading coefficient has to be a 1; ours is a 2 so we factor it out.  That gives us:

2(x^2-2x)=10

The second rule is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 2 (from the -2x).  Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1.  So we add 1 into the parenthesis on the left.  BUT we cannot ignore the 2 sitting out front of the parenthesis.  It is a multiplier.  That means that we didn't just add in a 1, we added in a 2 * 1 = 2.  So we add 2 to the right as well, giving us now:

2(x^2-2x+1)=10+2

The reason we complete the square (other than as a means of factoring) is to get a quadratic into vertex form.  Completing the square gives us a perfect square binomial on the left.

x^2-2x+1=(x-1)^2 and on the right we will just add 10 and 2:

2(x-1)^2=12

Now we move the 12 back over by subtracting and set the quadratic back to equal y:

2(x-1)^2-12=y

From this vertex form we can see that the vertex of the parabola sits at (1,-12).  This tells us that the absolute lowest point of the parabola (since it is positive it opens upwards) is -12.  Therefore, the range is R={y|y ≥ -12}
