Answer:

I) |xz| ≈ 28.6 km

II) |yz| ≈ 34.8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the position of ship due south of x is z (aà pictor representation of the question is attached)

|xy| = 20 km, |xz| = ?, |yz| = ?, θ(y) = 55°

Using Trigonometric ratio - SOHCAHTOA

I) Tan θ = |xz| ÷ |xy| ⇒ Tan 55° = |xz| ÷ 20

|xz| = 20 * Tan 55 = 20 * 1.428

|xz| = 28.56 km

|xz| ≈ <u>28.6 km</u>

<u />

II) Cos θ = |xy| ÷ |yz| ⇒ Cos 55° = 20 ÷ |yz|

|yz| * Cos 55° = 20 ⇒ |yz| = 20 ÷ Cos 55°

|yz| = 20 ÷ 0.574 = 34.84 km

|yz| ≈ <u>34.8 km</u>

2. The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability th
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of stopping at first signal = 0.36 ;

P(stop 1) = P(x) = 0.36

Probability of stopping at second signal = 0.54;

P(stop 2) = P(y) = 0.54

Probability of stopping at atleast one of the two signals:

P(x U y) = 0.6

Stopping at both signals :

P(xny) = p(x) + p(y) - p(xUy)

P(xny) = 0.36 + 0.54 - 0.6

P(xny) = 0.3

Stopping at x but not y

P(x n y') = P(x) - P(xny) = 0.36 - 0.3 = 0.06

Stopping at y but not x

P(y n x') = P(y) - P(xny) = 0.54 - 0.3 = 0.24

Probability of stopping at exactly 1 signal :

P(x n y') or P(y n x') = 0.06 + 0.24 = 0.30

Solve the system of equations. <br><br> 10x+y=−20 <br><br> y=2x2−4x−16<br><br> ( , ) and ( , )
Sladkaya [172]
I will go about solving this using the elimination method.

First, convert the equations.

10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12

Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it!  (In this case, y)  We will subtract to get rid of y.

6x = -8

Third, you want to solve the equation.

6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x = -1 \frac{1}{3}

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.

10(-1 \frac{1}{3}) + y = -20
-13 \frac{1}{3} + y = -20 (subtract -13 \frac{1}{3})
y = -6 \frac{2}{3}

The solution for this system of equations is (-1 \frac{1}{3}, -6 \frac{2}{3}).
