Answer:

Approximately the ship is 174.67 m far from where it began

Step-by-step explanation:

Let positive x axis represent east and positive y axis represent north.

A ship travels 200 miles due west.

Displacement, s₁ = -200 i

Then adjusts its course 30° north of west. The ship continues on this course for 30 miles.

Displacement, s₂ = 30 cos 30 i + 30 sin 30 j = 25.98 i + 15 j

Total displacement = s₁ + s₂ = -200 i +25.98 i + 15 j = -174.02 i + 15 j

\texttt{Magnitude =}\sqrt{(-174.02)^2+(15)^2}=174.67m

Approximately the ship is 174.67 m far from where it began

Answer:

174.66\ mi  or 175\ mi

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Applying the law of cosines

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2(a)(b)cos(C)

In this problem we have

a=200\ mi

b=30\ mi

C=30\°

substitute the values

c^{2}=200^{2}+30^{2}-2(200)(30)cos(30\°)

c^{2}=30,507.695

c=174.66\ mi

Probability help!!!!!
nirvana33 [79]

Let A be the event A=\{choosing \;an \;odd \;number\} and B be the vent B=\{choosing \;an \;even \;number\}. Since the intersection of the events A\cap B=\phi, the events A and B are mutually exclusive.

The number is either odd or even. Since P(A)+P(B)=1, the events are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.

Correct choice is "the number is either odd or even".

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=-1/2x+1/4
Amanda [17]
The slope will be -1/2. If you put it into slope intercept form of y=mx+b, mx will always be the slope.

(219,379.01 - x) / x = .3321
Ivahew [28]

Answer:x = 164686.592598

Step-by-step explanation:

219379.01−x/x = 0.3321

−x+219379.01/x = 0.3321

Step 1: Multiply both sides by x.

−x+219379.01≈0.3321x

−x+219379.01 − 0.3321x = 0.3321x−0.3321x (Subtract 0.3321x from both sides)

−1.3321x + 219379.01 = 0

−1.3321x + 219379.01 − 219379.01 = 0 − 219379.01 (Subtract 219379.01 from both sides)

−1.3321x = −219379.01

−1.3321x/−1.3321 = −219379.01/−1.3321

(Divide both sides by -1.3321)

x = 164686.592598
