an aircraft carrier leads port heading due west at 28 knots. A helicopter is 175 nautical miles from the carrier at an angle of

35 degrees south of west. What course should the helicopter travel at its cruising speed of 130 knots to intercept the aircraft carrier? (I need this fully worked out please)

Let’s say it takes time t hours for the interception.
In that time the carrier travels 28t nm west and the helicopter 130t nm.
Now we use the sine rule to find the angle x which lies between the distance 175 and 130t.
sin(x)/28t=sin35/130t. So sin(x)=28sin35/130=14sin35/65=0.1235 and x=7.0964 degrees.
Therefore the helicopter should use a bearing of 35+7.0964=42.0964 degrees north of east or 47.9 degrees east of north approx.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, -6) and has a<br> slope of – 3/5
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y =  -  \frac{6}{5} x - 3 \\</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1) \\

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (5, -6) and slope - 3/5

The equation of the line is

y + 6 =  -  \frac{3}{5} (x - 5) \\ y + 6 =  -  \frac{3}{5} x + 3 \\ y =  -  \frac{6}{5} x + 3 - 6

We have the final answer as

y =  -  \frac{6}{5} x - 3 \\

Hope this helps you

Find y using Pythagorean theorem or proportion
Tcecarenko [31]

We have three similar triangles, let's see if we can get this right, right vertex first, then other vertex from small side:

EDF ~ GDE ~ GEF

As ratios that means

ED:DF:EF = GD:DE:GE = GE:EF:GF

x:20:y = 5:x:GE = GE:y:15

Since we're after y we choose

20/y = y/15

20(15) = y²

y² = 300

y = 10√3

y ≈ 17.32

Which of the following represents the sum of the polynomials below?
zysi [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to align the like terms next to each other so that it will be easier to combine like terms. (Like terms have the same variables and powers)

6x^3+(-2x^3)+2x^2+5x^2+9x+3x

Combine like terms:

(When combining like terms all you have to do is add/subtract the coefficients, number in front of variables, and leave the variable and exponents)

6x^3+(-2x^3)= > 6x^3-2x^3=4x^3

2x^2+5x^2=7x^2

9x+3x=12x

So, we get 4x^3+7x^2+12x
