The course for a boat race starts at point A and proceeds in the direction of S52'E for 1 hour at 8 knots to point B and then in

the direction S50°W for 1 hour at 4.5 knots to point C and finally back to A. Find the total distance of the race and find the compass bearing from point A to point to the nearest whole degree.

Answer:

20.823 nautical miles

S20°E

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean ° (degrees), not ' (minutes).  There are 60 minutes in 1 degree.

S52°E means "south, 52° east", or 52° east of south.

S50°W means "south, 50° west", or 50° west of south.

1 knots = 1 nautical mile / hour, so the boat first travels 8 nautical miles from A to B, then 4.5 nautical miles from B to C, then finally back to A.

If we say A is at the origin, then the coordinates of B are:

(8 sin 52°, -8 cos 52°)

And the coordinates of C are:

(8 sin 52° − 4.5 sin 50°, -8 cos 52° − 4.5 cos 50°)

(2.857, -7.818)

So the distance from A to C is:

x = √(2.857² + (-7.818)²)

x ≈ 8.323

And the total distance of the race is:

d = 8 + 4.5 + 8.323

d = 20.823

The compass bearing from A to C is:

θ = atan(2.857 / 7.818)

θ ≈ S20°E

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a horizontal line is zero (0). For any finite "run", the "rise" is zero.

  slope = rise/run = 0/run = 0

Simplify the expression.
Anna71 [15]

Since we have a cubic root, we're interested in factoring cubes inside the root, so that we can take them out. If we factor 648, we have

648=2^3\times 3^4=2^3\times 3^3\times 3 = (2\times 3)^3\times 3 = 3\times 6^3

So, we have

3x\sqrt[3]{648 x^4 y^8} = \sqrt[3]{3\times 6^3\cdot x^3\cdot x \cdot y^6\cdot y^2}=3x\cdot 6\cdot x\cdot y^2\sqrt[3]{3\cdot x\cdot y^2}

And the result simplifies to

18x^2y^2\sqrt[3]{3xy^2}
