Len [333]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must apply the Law of Cosines, as you can see in the figure attached. Then:

- The first ship travels at $27 mi/hr$ in for two hours. Therefore, the side $a$ is:

$a=(27 mi/hr)(2 hr)=54mi$

- The second ship travels at $18 mi/hr$ for $1.5 hours$ . Therefore, the side $b$ is:

$b=(18mi/hr)(1.5hr)=27mi$

- Now, you can calculate $c$ :

$c=\sqrt{54^{2}+27^{2}-2(54)(27)Cos(55)}=44 mi$

The answer is: $44 miles$

Find the equation, (f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k), for a parabola containing point (2, -1) and having (4, -3) as a vertex. What is the s

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is written in the form

$f(x)=a((x-h)^2+k)$ (1)

where:

$h$ is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$ak$ is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$a$ is a scale factor

For the parabola in the problem, we know that the vertex has coordinates (4,-3), so we have:

$h=4$ (2)

$ak=-3$

From this last equation, we get that $a=\frac{-3}{k}$ (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) into (1) we get the new expression:

$f(x)=-\frac{3}{k}((x-4)^2+k) = -\frac{3}{k}(x-4)^2 -3$ (4)

We also know that the parabola contains the point (2,-1), so we can substitute

x = 2

f(x) = -1

Into eq.(4) and find the value of k:

$-1=-\frac{3}{k}(2-4)^2-3\\-1=-\frac{3}{k}\cdot 4 -3\\2=-\frac{12}{k}\\k=-\frac{12}{2}=-6$

So we also get:

$a=-\frac{3}{k}=-\frac{3}{-6}=\frac{1}{2}$

So the equation of the parabola is:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x-4)^2 -6)$ (5)

Now we want to rewrite it in the standard form, i.e. in the form

$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

To do that, we simply rewrite (5) expliciting the various terms, we find:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x^2-8x+16)-6)=\frac{1}{2}(x^2-8x+10)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$

Ten years ago,a father was five times as old as his son.their combined age now is 80.find the age of the son

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The son is now 20. The father is now 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The son was 10, ten years ago. Five times that was 50 years, the age of the father. Now they have both aged 10 years, and the son is 20 and the father is 60. Add them together, and it makes 80.
