X=200cos(162+90)+350cos(260+90)

y=200sin(162+90)+350sin(260+90)

x≈282.88

y≈-250.99

So the length of the return trip is:

d^2=x^2+y^2

d^2≈143017.0745

d≈378.18

tanα=-250.99/282.88

α=arctan(-250.99/282.88)

α≈-41.58°  that's the standard angle relative to the positive x-axis...

We need to be going in the exact opposite direction when returning so...

180-41.58=138.42°  again this angle is standard notation.  To convert this to a bearing we need to subtract 90°...

So the bearing is 138.42-90=48.42°

So the return trip will be 378.18km on a bearing of 48.42°

(I have assumed that the bearing was relative to true north, or the positive y axis....)

A company has a cost equation of c=0.925x^2-4x+20 and a profit equation of p=-1.125x^2+6x+40. Solve for the breakeven point.
lana66690 [7]
0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40 (at break even point)

2.05x^2 - 10x - 20 = 0

x =  [ - (-10) +/- sqrt(100 - 4*2.05*-20) / (2*2.05) 

x =  6.40, -1.52   Ignore the negative 

Answer is  6.40
