Answer:
1.) ≈ 3.652
2.) I would say something about how the A in front of cos in the equation would change to 90, rather than stay 75 (in the equation for the step by step), but it would be easier to just use the Pythagorean theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think we may have the same class so hopefully this helps:
1.) --> law of cosines formula.
--> plugged in numbers; when you draw the triangle, the included angle would be A, and the opposite side would be a. B and b, and C and c are opposite each other. In this case, a is the hypotenuse.
--> in between steps.
--> more simplifying.
--> answer
2.) This one is just an explanation: The 75 in the equation is the given angle, which is a. If this changes, it would just change in the equation too. And obviously, if it's 90 degrees, you can just use Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.
Good luck! :)
Answer:
P is exactly 3km east from the oil refinery.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's d be the distance in km from the oil refinery to point P. So the horizontal distance from P to the storage is 3 - d and the vertical distance is 2. Hence the diagonal distance is:
So the cost of laying pipe under water with this distance is
And the cost of laying pipe over land from the refinery to point P is 400000d. Hence the total cost:
We can find the minimum value of this by taking the 1st derivative and set it to 0
We can move the first term over to the right hand side and divide both sides by 400000
From here we can square up both sides
d = 3
So the cost of pipeline is minimum when P is exactly 3km east from the oil refinery.
