Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 2 wherever you see 'a'
3(2) + 5(2)(2)
1. 3×2 = 6, so:
6 + 5(2)(2)
2. 5×2=10, 10×2=20, so:
6 + 20
The final answer is 26.
Not sure what y is but x is 40.6666
Answer:
The ship S is at 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance of the ship to coastguard P be represented by x, and its distance to coastguard Q be represented by y.
But,
<P = 048°
<Q =
- 
= 0
Sum of angles in a triangle = 
<P + <Q + <S = 
048° + 0
+ <S = 
+ <S = 
<S =
- 
= 
<S = 
Applying the Sine rule,
=
= 
= 
= 
= 
⇒ y = 
= 12.703
y = 12.70 km
= 
= 
= 
⇒ x = 
= 10.0475
x = 10.05 km
Thus,
the ship S is at a distance of 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.
