Answer: The sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a sail boat leaves port and sails 12 kilometers west and then 9 kilometers north.

We are to find the distance between the sailboat from the port in kilometers.

Since the directions west and north are at right-angles, we can visualize the movement of the sailboat in the form of a right-angled triangle as shown in the attached figure.

The sailboat moves leaves the port at P and reach O after sailing 12 km west. From point O, again it moves towards north 9 km and reach the point S.

PS = ?

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have from right-angled triangle SOP,

$PS^2=OS^2+OP^2=9^2+12^2=81+144=225\\\\\Rightarrow PS=15~\textup{km}.$

Thus, the sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.

Well in order to have freckles you need two recessive allele and in order not to, it’s dominate meaning it’s less common

Answer:

$8r + 6s = 100$ --- (a)

$s = -2$ ---- (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Per ride (r) = $8

Per baseballs (s) = $6

Total = $100

Required

Represent using an equation

If 1 ride is $8.

r rides would be 8r

If 1 baseball is $6

s baseballs would be 6r.

So, total is:

$8r + 6s = 100$

Solving (b):

Value of s when r = 14

$8r + 6s = 100$

Substitute 14 for r

$8 * 14 + 6s = 100$

$112+ 6s = 100$

Solve for 6s

$6s = 100 - 112$

$6s = -12$

Solve for s

$s = -12/6$

$s = -2$

Write each of the following as a function of theta.<br> 1.) sin(pi/4 - theta) 2.) tan(theta+30°)

Paladinen [302]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent theta.

$\sin( \frac{\pi}{4} - x )$

Using the angle addition trig formula,

$\sin(x - y) = \sin(x) \cos(y) - \cos(x) \sin(y)$

$\sin( \frac{\pi}{4} ) \cos(x) - \cos( \frac{\pi}{4} ) \sin(x)$

$( \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}) \cos(x) - (\frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} )\sin(x)$

Multiply one side at a time

Replace theta with x , the answer is

$\frac{ \sqrt{2} \cos(x) }{2} - \frac{ \sin(x) \sqrt{2} }{2}$

2. Convert 30 degrees into radian

$\frac{30}{1} \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{\pi}{6}$

Using tangent formula,

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \tan(x) + \tan(y) }{1 - \tan(x) \tan(y) }$

$\frac{ \tan(x) + \tan( \frac{\pi}{6} ) }{1 - \tan(x) \tan( \frac{\pi}{6} ) }$

Tan if pi/6 is sqr root of 3/3

$\frac{ \tan(x) + ( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{3} ) }{1 - \tan(x) (\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{3} ) }$

Since my phone about to die if you later simplify that,

you'll get

$\frac{(3 \tan(x) + \sqrt{3} )(3 + \sqrt{3} \tan(x) }{3(3 - \tan {}^{2} (x) }$

Replace theta with X.
