We are given
v = 18 m/hr west
θ1 = 285°
θ2 = 340°

After 1 hours, the distance traveled by the ship is
dv = 18 mi

The distance between the ship and the lighthouse is
d = 18 / cos 340
Solve for d<span />

4x-6 + 2x = 18<br> What’s the answer
solmaris [256]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-6 + 2x = 18

Combine like terms

6x -6 = 18

Add 6 to each side

6x-6+6 =18+6

6x = 24

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 24/6

x =4

A parabola is represented by the equation y2 = 5x. which equation represents the directrix?
ivann1987 [24]

The value of the directrix is -5/4.

According to the statement

we have given that the equation of parabola is y2 = 5x. And we have to find that the which equation represents the directrix.

We know that the general equation of parabola is

(y - k)2 = 4a(x - h)  -(1)

and given parabola equation is

y2 = 5x.  -(2)

After comparing the both equations we get k=0 and h=0

And the formula to find the directrix is

x = h - a

Substitute the values of h and a in it then

x = 0-5/4

x = -5/4.

Here the directrix is -5/4.

So, The value of the directrix is -5/4.

I don’t really understand how you figure out the points of a figure on rotation, please explain!
Basile [38]
To rotate a figure
90 degrees(-y,x)
180 degrees(-x,-y)
270 degrees(y,-x)
If your original point is (1,2) or example and you want to rotate it say 270 degrees the final point would be (2,-1)
Hope this helped!!!!!

How do you solve the math equation
GalinKa [24]
First of its y-y1 = m(x-x1)
m is the slope, what it is increasing by. 
y1 is the y intercept of your pair. 
X1 is the x intercept of your coordinate pair, plug them in. If you dont know slope the formula to find it is:
y2-y1/x2-x1
