A child walks due east on the deck of a ship at 3 miles perhour.

Mathematics
1 answer:
VladimirAG [237]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

16.28 mph ; 79.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Speed of child due east = 3mph

Speed of ship due North = 16mph

Relative speed of th child is obtained by using Pythagoras rule to find the hypotenus

Relative Speed = Sqrt(3² + 16²)

Relative Speed = sqrt(9 + 256)

= sqrt(265)

= 16.2788 mph

= 16.28 mph

From trigonometry ;

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = (16 / 3)

Tanθ = 5.333

θ = tan^-1(5.333)

θ = 79.379°

θ = 79.38°

Consider the equation below.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The equation has no solutions .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

<u>The linear equation is </u>

\dfrac{3}{4}(24 -16 x) = \dfrac{-2}{3}(18 x -27)

Or, \dfrac{3}{4} ×24 - \dfrac{3}{4} × 16 x =  \dfrac{-2}{3} × 18 x -  \dfrac{-2}{3} × 27

Or,  \dfrac{3}{4} ×24 - \dfrac{3}{4} × 16 x =  \dfrac{-2}{3} × 18 x + \dfrac{2}{3} × 27

Or, \frac{3\times 24}{4} -  \frac{3\times 16 x}{4} =  \frac{-2\times 18 x}{3} + \frac{2\times 27 x}{3}

Or, 3 × 6 - 3 × 4 x = - 2 × 6 x + 2 × 9

Or, 18 - 12 x = - 12 x + 18

Or, 18 - 18 = - 12 x + 12 x

or, 0 = 0

∵ The linear equation has no variables , so the equation has no solution

Hence,The equation has no solutions . Answer

Anna has a 25-meter-long fence that she plans to use to enclose a rectangular garden of width w. The fencing will be placed arou
Leviafan [203]
<h3>Answer:   -2w^2 + 25w = 25    or    -2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0</h3>

================================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The width is w. We have two opposite and parallel sides equal to this. The other two parallel congruent sides are L = 25-2w meters long. We start with the total amount of fencing, and then subtract off the two width values, so 25-w-w = 25-2w.

The area of the rectangle is

Area = length*width

Area = L*W

Area = (25-2w)*w

Area = 25w - 2w^2

Area = -2w^2 + 25w

Set this equal to the desired area (25 square meters) to get

-2w^2 + 25w = 25

and we can subtract 25 from both sides to get everything on one side

-2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0

side note: The two approximate solutions of this equation are w = 1.0961 and w = 11.4039 (use the quadratic formula or a graphing calculator to find this)

Evaluate -a - 12a 2 for a = -1
Serhud [2]
The answer is -11
You put "-1" in place of all the "a"s and get 
-(-1) - 12(-1)^2
-(-1) is just 1, and (-1)^2 is "1"
We are then left with 1-12(1) which is 1-12 which is -11
