A small radio transmitter broadcasts in a 50 mile radius. If you drive along a straight line from a city 65 miles north of the t

mart [117]

Answer:

29% of the drive

Step-by-step explanation:

The plot of the problem is:

Transmitter at origin (0,0)

City to the north at (0,70)

City to the east at (74,0)

The path from city to city is a line with slope:

m = (-70)/74 = -35/37

and y-intercept at y = 70, so the equation is y = (-35/37)*x + 70.

The transmitter reach the area enclosed by the next circle:

x^2 + y^2 = 53^2

See the picture attached

The intersection is gotten from the picture or solving:

x^2 + [(-35/37)*x + 70]^2 = 53^2

the points approximately are: (24.1, 47.2) and (45.8, 26.7)

From Pythagorean theorem the total distance of the trip is:

d1 = √(70^2 + 74^2) ≈ 101.9 miles

And the distance when the signal is picked up is:

d2 =√ [(45.8 - 24.1)^2 + (47.2 - 26.7)^2] ≈ 29.9 miles

You will pick up a signal from the transmitter in (d2/d1)*100 = 29% of the drive.

What are the zeros of h(x)=x^4-18x^2+81

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

zeros: x = -3, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros are the x values where the graph intersects the x-axis. to find the roots, replace the y with 0 and solve for x.

PLZ I WILL GIVE BRAILIEST TO THE FIRST ANSWER

natima [27]

Option B is the correct answer.

3 is greater than -5, -9, and -1.

Hint: Remember to distribute the negative when solving. A negative directly outside outside of and to the left the parenthesis times a negative number inside the parenthesis makes that number positive.

So for option B, you can simplify it to -3 +4 +2. And that equals 3.

A) -3+-4-(-2) = -5

B) -3-(-4)-(-2) = 3

C) -3+(-4)-2 = -9

D) -3-(-4)-2 = -1

Ship A and Ship B are 120 km apart when they pick up a distress call from another boat. Ship B estimates that they are 70 km awa

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

147.5 km and 64.4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

a=120 km

b=70 km

β=28 degrees ( ∘)

b^2=(a^2)+(c^2)−2ac*cosβ

70^2 =(120^2 )+(c^2)−2⋅ 120⋅ c⋅ cos(28∘ )

(c^2 ) −211.907c+9500=0

note p, q, and r are replacement variables in the Pythagorean theorem since a, b, and c are already in use

p=1;q=−211.907;r=9500

D=(q^2 ) −4pr=(211.907^2 )−4⋅1⋅9500=6904.75561996

D>0

$c_{1,2}$ = (−q± $\sqrt{D}$ )/2p=(211.91± $\sqrt{6904.76}$ )/2

$c_{1,2}$ =105.95371114±41.5474295834

( $c_{1}$ −147.501140726)( $c_{2}$ −64.4062815596)=0

$c_{1}$ =147.501140726

$c_{2}$ =64.4062815596
