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....)

Which model represents the factors of 4x^2-9
dsp73

The model (x+a)(x-a) will represents the factors of 4x²-9 as (2x+3)(2x-3).

<h3>What are the quadratic equations in one variable completing the squares method?</h3>

The "completing the squares" method aims to construct a quadratic equation of the form where the x variable is entirely covered by a single squared term, which is the square of a linear expression in x, as the name suggests.

The quadratic equation can resemble this:

x²-a² = (x+a)(x-a)

Given equation;

⇒4x²-9

⇒(2x)²-3²

The equation can be modeled as;

(2x+3)(2x-3)

Hence the model (x+a)(x-b) will represents the factors of 4x²-9 as (2x+3)(2x-3).

What is equivalent to<br>x2+ 14x = -13​
postnew [5]

Answer:

X= 1 AND 13

Step-by-step explanation:

x2+14x = -13

by completing the square method

you add the square of half the coefficient of b to both sides

which is (14/2)^2

x^2+14x+(7^2) = -13 +(7^2)

x^2 + 7^2 = -13 + 49

x^2 + 7^2 = 36

(x + 7)^2 = 36

find the square root of both sides

(x+7) = + or - 6

x=7-6 ; 1

or

x= 7+6 ; 13

In the diagram below of triangle OPQ, R is the midpoint of OQ and S is
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Measurement of OP = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

R is mid point of OQ

S is mid point of PQ

RS = 18 – 4x

OP = -9 + 7x

Find:

Measurement of OP

Computation:

R is mid point of OQ and S is mid point of PQ;

By using mid point theorem

[1/2][OP] = RS

So,

[1/2][-9 + 7x] = [18 - 4x]

[-9 + 7x] = 2[18 - 4x]

-9 + 7x = 36 - 8x

7x + 8x = 36 + 9

15x = 45

x = 45 / 15

x = 3

So,

OP = -9 + 7x

OP = -9 + 7(3)

Measurement of OP = 12
