a port and a radar station are 2 mi apart on a straight shore running east and west. a ship leaves the port at noon traveling no

rtheast at a rate of 15 mi/hr. if the ship maintains its speed and course, what is the rate of change of the tracking angle theta between the shore and the line between the radar station and the ship at 12:30 pm?

Answer:

The rate of change of the tracking angle is 0.05599 rad/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the ship is traveling at 15 mi/hr north east and

Port to Radar station = 2 miles

Distance traveled by the ship in 30 minutes = 0.5 * 15 = 7.5 miles

Therefore the ship, port and radar makes a triangle with sides

2, 7.5 and x

The value of x is gotten from cosine rule as follows

x² = 2² + 7.5² - 2*2*7.5*cos(45) = 39.04

x = 6.25 miles

By sine rule we have

\frac{sin A}{a} = \frac{sin B}{b}

Therefore,

\frac{sin 45}{6.25} = \frac{sin \alpha }{7.5}

α = Angle between radar and ship α

∴ α = 58.052

Where we put

\frac{sin 45}{6.25} = \frac{sin \alpha }{x} to get

\frac{x}{6.25} = \frac{sin \alpha }{sin 45} and differentiate to get

\frac{\frac{dx}{dt} }{6.25} = cos\alpha\frac{\frac{d\alpha }{dt}  }{sin 45}

\frac{15sin45 }{6.25cos\alpha } =\frac{d\alpha }{dt}  }= 3.208 degrees/second = 0.05599 rad/sec.

a standard six sided die. Janice rolled either a 2 or a 5 on the last 6 rolls of the die. What is the probability of Janice roll
Igoryamba

We have that   the probability of Janice rolling a 2 or 5 on her 7th toss of the dice is

\frac{1}{3}^7.

From the question we are told that

Janice rolled either a 2 or a 5 on the last 6 rolls of the die

Janice rolling a 2 or 5 on her 7th toss of the dice

P(2/ 5)=1/6+1/6\\\\P(2/ 5)=2/6\\\\P(2/ 5)=1/3.

Where

P(2/5 ) =(1/3)^6.

Janice roll the standard die 7th time the probability of getting 2 or 5 is

P(2/5 ) =\frac{1}{3}^7.

Point N(7, 4) is translated 5 units up.
lutik1710 [3]

It is given in the question that

Point N(7, 4) is translated 5 units up.

And we have to find the coordinates of its image after this transformation.

Since the point translated up by 5 units, so the x coordinate remains same and we have to add 5 to y coordinate.

So the new coordinate after the transformation is

N'(7+5,4)
\\
N'(12,4)

And that's the required coordinate  after the given transformation .

Two positive integers have a product of 176. One integer is 5 less than the other integer. Which equation can be used to find th
faust18 [17]
xy=176
y=x-5

\implies x(x-5)=176\implies x^2-5x-176=(x+11)(x-16)=0
\implies x=-11, x=16

Since x>0, we take x=16, which means y=16-5=11.
