CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Island A is 250 miles from island B. A ship captain travels 260 miles from island A and then finds that he is off course and 160 miles from island B. What bearing should he turn to, so he is heading straight towards island B?

A. 111.65

B. 119.84

C. 21.65

D. 135.53

Answer:

OPTION A IS CORRECT

A. 111.65

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be explained using a triangle, let us say triangle ABD

and let us say A and B represent the islands and D is the particular point from where the captain is standing at a distance of 160 miles from B island .

We will be making use of cosines rule to calculate our angles, and we know that from cosine rule

D² = a² + b² -2abCosD

Where, a= 160 b = 260 and d = 250 then we can substitute in order to calculate our angles

250²= 60² + 260² - 2(160*260)Cos(D)

62500= 625600+ 67600- 83200CosD

83200CosD= 25600+ 67600 - 625600

83200CosD= 30700

CosD= 30700/83200

CosD= 0.369

D= cos⁻¹ (0.369)

D=68.35

Therefore, the angle inside the triangle is 68.35°

Now we can now find the bearing the captain supposed to turn , if he is heading to island B which will be the external angle of the triangle, but we know that The external angle =180°(supplimentary angles )

Then the angle he would turn will be external angle of the triangle - 68.35°

= (180 - 68.35)

= 111.65°

Therefore, the bearing the captain should turn is 111.65° for him to be heading straight towards island B.

  • Domain:  (-\infty, \infty) which is the set of all real numbers
  • Range: [3, \infty) which is the set of y values such that y \ge 3
  • x intercepts: none
  • y intercept:  only one y intercept and it is at (0,7) this is ordered pair notation and not interval notation
  • Interval positive: (-\infty, \infty)
  • Interval negative: none
  • Interval increasing: (-2, \infty)
  • Interval decreasing: (-\infty, -2)
  • Average rate of change over [-2,0] is 2

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

Explanation:

The domain is the set of all real numbers. This is because the graph goes on forever to the left and right. We can use any x value we want as an input. There are no restrictions to worry about such as to prevent dividing by zero errors.

To say "all real numbers" in interval notation, we write (-\infty, \infty) which is another way of saying -\infty < x < \infty

-------------------

The range in interval notation is [3, \infty) since y = 3 is the smallest y output possible, and we could have larger y values as well. So basically y \ge 3 can be used to describe the range without saying much else.

Note the use of a square bracket to include 3 as part of the interval.

-------------------

There are no x intercepts because this graph does not cross the x axis. The lowest point is at (-2,3) so there's no way we could reach y = 0. Put another way, y = 0 is not part of the range so we cannot have any x intercepts.

There is one y intercept and it is at (0,7) where the graph crosses the y axis. For any function, the max number of y intercepts is 1.

-------------------

When it says "interval positive", its asking "which part(s) of the graph are above the x axis?". That would be the entire graph meaning we have the interval (-\infty, \infty). Every point on this V shaped curve is of the form (x,y) where y is positive.

So this means that we do not have any points with a negative y value, and therefore the answer to "interval negative" is none.

-------------------

Now onto the "interval increasing". This is similar to the previous section, but now we're looking when the graph is going uphill as we read from left to right. This happens on the interval (-2, \infty) or put another way when x > -2.

The graph goes downhill whenever x < -2. So that's why the answer for the "interval decreasing" is (-\infty, -2)

-------------------

Note the points (-2,3) and (0,7) are on the V shaped graph. These points have x coordinates of x = -2 and x = 0, which are the endpoints of the interval we're focusing on.

Compute the slope of the line through those two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (7-3)/(0-(-2))

m = (7-3)/(0+2)

m = 4/2

m = 2

The positive slope means the line goes uphill as we read from left to right

The average rate of change on the interval [-2, 0] is the value 2

In other words, we go up 2 units each time we move to the right 1 unit.

35 more than twice the value of e is 65
almond37 [142]


here is what I think since 2 multiplied by 15 equals 30 you at 35 more to that 30 and you get the answer 60. Is that how it is supposed to go?
