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.

I need help with number 19
inysia [295]
Let's start by understanding that the graph is a linear line. We have a common difference if 4.5 for every 10x we have more.

We can start by finding the gradient, using rise over run. Let's take (10, 4.5) and (20, 9)

Our rise is 9 - 4.5 = 4.5 and our run is 10. Then, our gradient becomes 4.5/10 = 0.45

Now, we can substitute points using the point-slope form.

y - 4.5 = 0.45(x - 10)
y - 4.5 = 0.45x - 4.5
Hence, our line becomes y = 0.45x and you can verify by substituting in points from the table.

7/2x+1/2x = 18+ 9/2x
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

x=-36

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the 7/2x +1/2x to be 8/2x which means that it'll be 4x=18=9/2

then subtract 9/2x on both sides so itll be

4x=18+\frac{9}{2} x

-9/2x       -9/2x

-\frac{1}{2} x=18   because if you do 8/2-9/2 it's -1/2

then multiply the reciprocal to both sides so

(\frac{2}{-1})(-\frac{1}{2}x)=(\frac{2}{-1})(18)

which then cancels out -1/2 and makes it

x=-36
