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....)

Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable. t^2-4t-32/t-8
Leno4ka [110]

1. Factor the expression t^2-4t-32:

t^2-4t-32=(t-8)(t+4).

2. Since t-8 is placed in the denominator of the given expression, then t\neq 8.

3. Now the expression can be simplified:

\dfrac{t^2-4t-32}{t-8}=\dfrac{(t-8)(t+4)}{t-8}=t+4.

Answer:

3 < x < 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 sides then the possible range of the third side x is

difference of 2 sides < x < sum of 2 sides , that is

10 - 7 < x < 10 + 7
