At noon, ship a is 180 km west of ship

If we let the coordinates of each ship be (x, y) with the positive directions of these coordinates corresponding to East and North, then the positions of the ships t hours after noon are

Ship A
  (-180+35t, 0)

Ship B
  (0, 30t)

The distance between them is the "Pythagorean sum" of the difference in their coordinates:
  d = √((-180 +35t)² +(-30t)²)
    = √(32400 -12600t +2125t²)
The rate of change of this distance is
  dd/dt = (2125t -6300)/√(32400 -12600t +2125t²)

At 4 pm, the value of this rate of change is
  (2125*4 -6300)/√(32400 -12600*4 +2125*4²)
  = 2200/√16000
  ≈ 17.39 km/h

The distance between the ships is increasing at about 17.39 km/h at 4 pm.

Of 10<br> Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (2,-2) and (0,-6).
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}  \\

From the question we have

m  =  \frac{ - 6 -  - 2}{0 - 2}  =  \frac{ - 6 + 2}{ - 2}   =   \frac{ - 4}{ - 2}  = 2 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2</h3>

Hope this helps you

If csc ( x ) = 4, for 90 ∘ &lt; x &lt; 180, then sin ( x 2 ) = ? cos ( x 2 ) = ? tan ( x 2 ) = ?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

I'm assuming where you wrote x2, you meant 2x.

Anyway, if csc (x) = 2, since csc(x) = 1/sin(x), we know that 1/sin x = 2, so sin (x) = 1/2. Since sin2x + cos2x = 1, cos2x = 1 - sin2x, so cos x = √1 - sin2x. In this case, cos x = √ 1 - (1/2)2 = √(3/4) = (√3)/2. Finally, since sin x = opp / hyp , cos = adj/ hyp: sin x / cos x = (opp/hyp)/(adj/hyp) = opp/adj = tan x. So this means that tan x = sin x / cos x = 1/2 / √ 3 / 2 = 1/√3 = √3 / 3

At this point, all that is necessary is to use the double angle formulas for sin, cos, and tan.

sin (2x) = 2 sin x cos x = 2 (1/2) (√3/2) = √3 / 2

cos (2x) = cos2x - sin2x = (√3/2)2 - (1/2)2 = 3/4 - 1/4 = 1/2

tan (2x) = 2 tan x / (1 - tan2x) = 2 (√3 / 3) / ( 1 - (√3/3)2) = 2/√3 / (1 - 1/3) = 2/√3 / (2/3) = 3/√3 = √3

To sum up, sin (2x) = √4 / 2, cos (2x) = 1/2, and tan(2x) = ✓3.
