Step 1.

Calculate measure of angle α:

47^o-38^o=9^o

Step 2.

Calculate what fraction of the angle 360° ​​is the angle α:

\dfrac{9^o}{360^o}=\dfrac{1}{40}

Step 3.

Calculate the circumference of the Earth (circle):

C=2\pi r\to C=2\pi\cdot4000=8000\pi\ mi

Step 4.

The length of arc is equal 1/40 of the circumference:

\dfrac{1}{40}C=\dfrac{1}{40}\cdot8000\pi=200\pi\ mi

\pi\approx3.14\to\dfrac{1}{40}C\approx200\cdot3.14=628\ mi


<h3>Answer: A) 628 miles</h3>

X^2-y^2=3y in polar form
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

put x=r cos θ

y=r sin θ

r²cos²θ-r²sin²θ=3rsin θ

r²(cos²θ -sin²θ)=3r sin θ

r²cos 2θ=3rsinθ

r cos 2θ=3 sin θ

r=3sec 2θ sin θ

Determine whether the event is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, likely
Temka [501]
As likely as not.
EXPLANATION: a coin has 2 sides. (usually heads and tails)
50% chance it is heads
50% chance it is tails
50=50.
So it is just as likely to happen as it is likely to not.

Factorize the following: <br>49x² - 25​
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

(7x+5)(7x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the difference of squares equation which states that when a number is multiplied like: (ax+b)(ax-b) then it equals (ax-b). In this equation, since there is no "b" in the typical ax^2+bx+c, we can recognize that the answer is not a square, but a difference of squares.

What is 8 to the second power open parentheses 3x - 2 closed parentheses + 5 = 56. solve for x
Ratling [72]
8² (3x -2) + 5 = 56  I do the exponents first
64 (3x -2) + 5 = 56  I distribute the 64 over the 3x-2
192x - 128 + 5 = 56 I combined liked terms  (-128+5)
192x -123 = 56  I add 123 to both side
192x - 123 +123= 56 + 123  Finally I divide both sides by 192
<u>192x</u> = <u>179
</u>192       192

x = \frac{179}{192}
