Answer:

A. 111.65

Step-by-step explanation:

This scenario can be interpreted like a triangle ABC where A and B are islands and C is the point from where the captain is 160 miles from island B.

a = 160

b = 260

c = 250

Law of cosines

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2(ab)Cos(C)\\Arranging\ as\\2ab \ cos\ C = a^2+b^2-c^2\\2(160)(260)\ cos\ C = (160)^2+(260)^2- (250)^2\\83200\ cos\ C=25600+67600-62500\\83200\ cos\ C=30700\\cos\ C= \frac{30700}{83200}\\cos\ C=0.36899\\C = arccos\ (0.36899)\\C = 68.35

The internal angle is 68.35°

We have to find the external angle to find the bearing the captain should turn

Using the rule of supplimentary angles:

The external angle = 180 - 68.35 = 111.65°

Therefore, the captain should turn 111.65° so that he would be heading straight towards island B.

Hence, option 1 is correct ..

Answer: Option 'a' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

AB = 250 feet

AC = 260 feet

BC = 160 feet

We need to find the angle C that is heading straight towards island B.

We will apply "Law of cosine":

\cos C=\dfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}\\\\\cos C=\dfrac{160^2+260^2-250^2}{2\times 160\times 260}\\\\\cos C=0.368\\\\C=\cos^{-1}(0.368)\\\\C=68.40^\circ

Exterior angle would be

180-68.40=111.65^\circ

Hence, Option 'a' is correct.

Answer:

1) -15/32

2) 2/15

3) -203.5

4) -3/2 = -1.5

5) 10/3 = 3 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1, you just multiply the numerators and denominators together (3 by 5, 4 by 8) and then because it is negative, add the negative sign.

For 2, you multiply again, but because there are 2 negative signs, it becomes positive.

For 3, you divide 81.4 by 0.4, you could also divide 814 by 4.

For 4, you keep change flip, so the equation would become -9/4 (-2 1/4=-9/4) and 3/2 would become 2/3. The equation would be (-9/4 * 2/3). Then, you would get -18/12 which is -3/2.

For 5, you just multiply 4/3 by 5/2 which is 20/6 and because 2 negatives, it becomes positive.

Slav-nsk [51]

The logarithmic model for the length when the strength is of 8 Pascals is given by:

  • f^{-1}(8) = \log_{2}{8} = \log_2{2^3} = 3
  • That is, the length is of 3 units.

<h3>What is the function?</h3>

The strength in Pascals for a building of length x is given by:

f(x) = 2^x

To find the length given the strength, we apply the inverse function, that is:

2^y = x

\log_{2}{2^y} = \log_2{x}

y = \log_2{x}

Hence, when the strength is of 8 Pascals, x = 8, and the length is given by:

f^{-1}(8) = \log_{2}{8} = \log_2{2^3} = 3
