Alfred is 0.7 ounces at the beginning.
After one week had passed, he is 11% larger. 0.7 * 1.11
After two weeks, the dust bunny's size is once again 11% larger.
0.7 * 1.11 * 1.11, or 0.7 * 1.11².

From here you can see that each week the dust bunny's size multiplies by 1.11. (1 whole plus 11 percent) How many times it is multiplied can be expressed with exponents.

w = 0.7*1.11^{x}

Two boats left a base camp at bearing of S60°E and S50°W at speeds of 50km/h and 70km/h respectively. Find the distance between
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

  • 197.93 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base camp is point A and boats' locations after two hours are points B and C.

By connecting the three points together we get a triangle ABC with sides:

  • AB = 50*2 = 100 km
  • AC = 70*2 = 140 km

The angle between AB and AC is:

  • 60 + 50 = 110 degrees (opposite directions from south)

We are looking for the distance BC, which can be found by using the law of cosines:

  • BC² = AB² + AC² - 2AB*AC*cos ∠BAC
  • BC² = 100² + 140² - 2*100*140*cos 110°
  • BC²  = 39176.56 (rounded)
  • BC = √39176.56 = 197.93 km (rounded)

The distance between the boats is 197.93 km.
