A jogger runs 140 m due west, then changes direction for the second leg of her run. At the end of the run, she is 374 m away fro

Answer:

The length of her second displacement = 247.12 m.

The direction of her second displacement = 31.24° from west.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

From the figure as drawn below,

Let the starting point be O. After running 140 m due west, she reached at point A.

∴ OA = 140 m

And At the end of the run, she is 374 m away from the starting point at an angle of 20° north of west.

∴ OP = 374 m

We have to find the distance AP = x.

By using the cosine rule in triangle OAP

cos \theta = \frac{OA^{2}+OP^{2}-AP^{2}}{2\times OA\times OP}

After putting the given value, we get

cos 20= \frac{140^{2}+374^{2}-x^{2}}{2\times 140\times 374}

x^{2}=140^{2}+374^{2} - 2\times 140\times 374\times cos 20

  ∴ x = 247.12 m  

Hence,the length of her second displacement = 247.12 m.

Again,

By using the cosine rule in triangle OAP, we get

cos \alpha = \frac{OA^{2}+AP^{2}-OP^{2}}{2\times OA\times AP}

After putting the given value, we get

cos \alpha = \frac{140^{2}+247.12^{2}-374^{2}}{2\times 140\times 247.12}

∴ α = 148.759°

Hence, the  direction of her second displacement = 180° - α = 180° - 148.759 = 31.24° from west.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -8) and has slope -2?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of -2 means the slope is -2/1

from (3, - 8) you can find the y intercept by going backwords until x = 0

(2,-6)

(1,-4)

(0,-2)

so the y intercept is -2

y = -2x - 2

Car A has an initial value of 30,000 and depreciates at a rate of 20% per year. Car B has an initial value of 20,000 and depreci
Doss [256]

Answer:

The value of Car B will become greater than the value of car A during the fifth year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for calculation of beginning and ending values of Cars A and B.

In the attached excel file, the following are used:

Annual Depreciation expense of Car A = Initial value of Car A * Depreciates rate of Car A = 30,000 * 20% = 6,000

Annual Depreciation expense of Car B from Year 1 to Year 6 = Initial value of Car B * Depreciates rate of Car B = 20,000 * 15% = 3,000

Annual Depreciation expense of Car B in Year 7 =  Beginning value of Car B in Year 7 = 2,000

Conclusion

Since the 8,000 Beginning value of Car B in Year 5 is greater than the 6,000 Beginning value of Car A in Year 5, it therefore implies that the value Car B becomes greater than the value of car A during the fifth year.

How would you solve this equation? It says you can use any method.
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

I would solve this as Simplify the matrix.

Step-by-step explanation:

I would do 5+9

Then i would do 16+2

Then the 4 would be by it self

14=18=4

Then if you need to solve it more then i would just add 14 18 and 4 together
