A ship at position (1, 0) on a nautical chart (with north in the positive y direction) sights a rock at position (7, 5). What an

gle θ does this vector make with due north? (This is called the bearing of the rock from the ship. Round your answer to two decimal places.) answer should be in radians east of north

Answer:

0.69473828 radians east of north.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interpreting the information given on a Cartesian plane, the position of the ship will be (1,0) and that of the rock will be (7,5). Connecting the point (1,0) and (7,5) with a line and dropping a perpendicular line from point (7,5) to the x-axis to intersect the x-axis at (7,0), will form a right-triangle with base length 6 units and a height of 5 units.

<u>Finding the base length from points (1,0) and (7,0)</u>

d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

d=√(7-1)²

d= √6²

d=6 units

<u>Finding the height from points (7,5) and (7,0)</u>

d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

d=√(7-7)² + (0-5)²

d=√-5²

d=√25

d=5 units

So you now have a right triangle with base length 6 units and height 5 units.

To get the bearing of rock from ship position you apply the formula for tangent of an angle

Tan Ф = length of opposite side/length of adjustment side

TanФ=5/6

Tan Ф =0.83333333333

Tan⁻¹ (0.83333333333) =0.69473828 radians east of north.

If the Math Olympiad Club consists of 15 students, how many different teams of 5 students can be formed for competitions?
seropon [69]

Answer:

  • 3003

Step-by-step explanation:

Teams of 5 from the total of 15 students.

<u>Combination of 5 is:</u>

  • nCr = n!/(n-r)!*r!
  • 15C5 = 15!/10!5! = 15*14*13*12*11/(2*3*4*5) = 3003 teams

The percentage of obese children aged 12-19 years in the United States is approximatelyP(t) = 0.04t + 4.6 if 0 ≤ t &lt; 10−0.010
Art [367]

Answer:

4.8% of of obese children aged 12-19 at the beginning of 1975.

9.15% of obese children aged 12-19 at the beggining of 1986

13.94% of obese children aged 12-19 at the beggining of 1995

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of obese children aged 12-19 years in the United States is given by the following piecewise function:

P(t) = \left \{ {{0.04t + 4.6, 0 \leq t < 10}\atop {-0.01005t^{2} + 0.945t - 3.4, 10 \leq t < 30}} \right.

In which t is measured in years.

What was the percentage of obese children aged 12-19 at the beginning of 1975?

This is the value of P when t = 5, so P(5).

For P(5), we apply the first definition of the piecewise function.

P(5) = 0.04(5) + 4.6 = 0.2 + 4.6 = 4.8

At the beginning of 1986?

The value of P when t = 16, so P(16).

For P(16), we apply the second definition of the piecewise function.

P(16) = -0.01005(16)^{2} + 0.945(16) - 3.4 = 9.15

At the beginning of 1995?

The value of P when t = 25, so P(25).]

For P(25), we apply the second definition of the piecewise function.

P(16) = -0.01005(25)^{2} + 0.945(25) - 3.4 = 13.94
