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.

vladimir2022 [97]

With annual compounding, the number of years for 1000 to become 1400 is 6.7 years

With continous compounding, the number of years for 1000 to become 1400 is 1.35 years

<h3>How long would it take $1000 to become $1,400?</h3>

With annual compounding, the formula that would be used is:

(In FV / PV) / r

Where:

  • FV = future value
  • PV = present value
  • r = interest rate

(In 1400 / 1000) / 0.05 = 6.7 years

With continous compounding, the formula that would be used is:

(In 1400 / 1000) / (In e^r)

Where r = interest rate

((In 1400 / 1000) / (In e^0.05) = 1.35 years

suppose you have a coupon for 20% discount you buy a game that costs $38 the sales tax rate is 5.5% sales tax applies to the cos
Lostsunrise [7]
$32.072 ≈ $32.07
20% of $38 is equal to $7.60
$38 - $7.60 = $30.40
5.5% of $30.40 = 1.672
$30.40 + $1.672 = $32.072
