Given:
Ship M travels E 15 km, then N35E 27 km. Its sub travels down 48° 2 km from that location.

Ship F travels S75E 20 km, then N25E 38 km. The treasure is expected to be at this location 2.18° below horizontal from the port.

Find:
1a. The distance from port to Ship M
1b. The distance from port to the sub
1c. The angle below horizontal from the port to the sub

2a. The distance from port to Ship F
2b. The depth to the expected treasure location
2c. The distance from port to the expected treasure location

Solution:
It can be helpful to draw diagrams. See the attached. The diagram for depth is not to scale.

There are several ways this problem can be worked. A calculator that handles vectors (as many graphing calculators do) can make short work of it. Here, we will use the Law of Cosines and the definitions of Tangent and Cosine.

Part 1
1a. We are given sides 15 and 27 of a triangle and the included angle of 125°. Then the distance (m) from the port to the ship is given by the Law of Cosines as
  m² = 15² +27² -2·15·27·cos(125°) ≈ 1418.60
  m ≈ 37.66
The distance from port to Ship M is 37.66 km.

1b. The distance just calculated is one side of a new triangle with other side 2 km and included angle of 132°. Then the distance from port to sub (s) is given by the Law of Cosines as
  s² = 1418.60 +2² -2·37.66·2·cos(132°) ≈ 1523.41
  s ≈ 39.03
The distance from port to the sub is 39.03 km.

1c. The Law of Sines can be used to find the angle of depression (α) from the port. That angle is opposite the side of length 2 in the triangle of 1b. The 39.03 km side is opposite the angle of 132°. So, we have the relation
  sin(α)/2 = sin(132°)/39.03
  α = arcsin(2·sin(132°)/39.03) ≈ 2.18°
The angle below horizontal from the port to the sub is 2.18°.

Part 2
2a. We are given sides 20 and 38 of a triangle and the included angle of 100°. Then the distance (f) from the port to the ship is given by the Law of Cosines as
  f² = 20² +38² -2·20·38·cos(100°) ≈ 2107.95
  f ≈ 45.91
The distance from port to Ship F is 45.91 km.

2b. The expected treasure location is at a depth that is 2.18° below the horizontal from the port. The tangent ratio for an angle is the ratio of the opposite side (depth) to the adjacent side (distance from F to port), so we have
  tan(2.18°) = depth/45.91
  depth = 45.91·tan(2.18°) ≈ 1.748
The depth to the expected treasure location is 1.748 km.

2c. The distance from port to the expected treasure location is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The cosine ratio for an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, so we have
  cos(2.18°) = (port to F distance)/(port to treasure distance)
  (port to treasure distance) = 45.91 km/cos(2.18°) ≈ 45.95
The distance from the port to the expected treasure is 45.95 km.

Part 3
It seems the Mach 5 Mimi is the ship most likely to have found the treasure. That one seems ripe for attack. Its crew goes to a location that is 2.18° below horizontal. The crew of the FTFF don't have any idea where they are going. (Of course, the pirate ship would have no way of knowing if it is only observing surface behavior.)

How do I determine whether 3x-4y+7=3y is a linear equation and how do I write it in standard form?? (I learned this already but
Pani-rosa [81]

Equation of the straight line can be given in more form. The most common forms are implicit (general or standard) form ax+by+c=0 and explicit form y=kx+i, where k is line coefficient and l is cut which line made on the y axis. If k>0 then the angle that takes straight line  with the positive direction to the x axis is sharp and if k<0 then the angle that takes straight line with positive direction to the x axis is obtuse. In you case  you only need to form one monomial with variable y in the given equation in the following way: 3x-4y+7=3y => add to both side (-3y) and you get 3x-4y-3y+7=3y-3y finally we get implicit or general 3x-7y+7=0. If is it necessary to transform from the implicit into the explicit form we will do this in the following way: 3x-7y+7=0 add to both side expression (-3x-7) => 3x-3x-7y+7-7=-3x-7 => divide both side with (-7) => y= (-3x-7)/ (-7) => finally we get y=3/7 x + 1 ( in our case coefficient of direction k=3/7 and the cut which line is made3 on the y axis l=1). Its display in the decartes coordinate system is given in one of the already given answers.

Answer:

b. 6|x|

Step-by-step explanation:

√(36x²) = √36√(x²)= 6|x|

Because √ from the number can be only positive.
