Two ships leave the same port in different directions, forming a 120° angle between them. One ship travels 70 mi. and the other

52 mi. before they each drop their anchors. What is the distance between the ships to the nearest mile?

Answer : Distance between the ships to the nearest miles = 106.03 ≈ 106 mi.

Explanation :

Since we have shown in the figure below :

a=70 mi.

b=52 mi.

c=x mi.

\text{Since two ships leaves the same port in different directions forming a }120\textdegree\text{angle between them.}

So, we use the cosine rule , which states that

 c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab.cosC\\\\x^2=70^2+52^2-2\times 70\times 52\times cos(120\textdegree)\\\\x^2=4900+2704-7280\times (-0.5)\\\\x^2=7604+3640\\\\x^2=11244\\\\x=\sqrt{11244}\\\\x=106.03

So, c = x= 106.03 mi.

Hence, distance between the ships to the nearest miles = 106.03 ≈ 106 mi.

I thought this would be simple, as I'm familiar with algebra and not really "The constant of proportionality," but I will do my best.

So this said "Constant of proportionality," is referring to basically the answers for the equation when X equals certain numbers.

Make a table of different answers when you plug in X and you get the 'Constant of proportionality.'

y = 2.5x + 3
y = 2.5(1) + 3
y = 2.5 + 3
y = 5.5

Since we plugged in 1 for X and got 5.5 for Y, our input and output is (1, 5.5)

Replace X for a different value, and you will get a bunch of different numbers that will in essence be your function inputs and outputs.  Make a table of these and you have your answer.

EXAMPLE - 
-= x =-   -= y =-
-= 1 =-   -= 5.5 =-
-= 2 =-   -= 8 =-
-= 3 =-   -= 11.5 =-
-= 4 =-   -= 13 =-


So there you have it.  I hope this helps!  If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Dividing both sides of 5x = 4 by 5 yields x = 4 _. 5 . The value of x can now be ... tuting −1 for a into the equation b = –a + 3 gives b = −(−1) + 3, or b = 4. ... ___. 82 − (2i)2 . Since i2 = −1, this can be simplified to 24 − 6i − 40i − 10. __.

Ksivusya [100]

The extra amount that Mary would pay for apples under a monopoly instead of perfect competition is B. $3

<h3>Calculations and Parameters:</h3>

From the complete information,

There are images of the prices that can be gotten under a monopoly and the ones that can be gotten in a perfect competition by Mary.

The marginal cost which is graphed against the pound of apples and the price shows Mary would pay $15 and the marginal revenue shows that Mary would pay $12.

Hence, the difference between them, which is the extra amount to be paid would be $15-$12

=$3
