17. The captain of a ship recorded the ship’s coordinates, then sailed north and then west, and then recorded the new coordinate

s. The coordinates were used to calculate the distance they traveled, √578 km. When the captain asked how far they traveled, the navigator said, "About 24 km." Is the navigator correct? Under what conditions might he need to be more precise in his answer?

Answer:

The value of square root of 578

√578 = 24.0416

which is near about equal to 24

Also, the square of 24 is equal to 576.

Thus, Navigator is correct because both values are approximately equivalent.

<em>If the values are much less or more than the 576 then Navigator mist give the more precise answer.</em>

Solve for m. <br><br> 3m+7/2=−2m+5/2 <br><br> A.-1<br><br> B.-1/5<br><br> C.6<br><br> D.6/5
dedylja [7]

To solve this we must isolate x which involves having the variables on one side and the numbers on the other.

First add 2m to both sides

<em>3m+7/2=-2m+5/2</em>

<em>5m+7/2=5/2</em>

Then we subtract 7/2 from both sides

<em>5m+7/2=5/2</em>

<em>5m=-1</em>

Finally we divide both sides by 5

<em>5m/5=-1/5</em>

<em>Our final answer is -1/5</em>

<em>So the answer is B</em>

Hope this helps!

Plz, help me!!!<br> Write each interval as an inequality. Then graph the solutions. (–∞,5)
makkiz [27]

The interval notation given to us means that x is between negative infinity and 5, excluding both endpoints.

So we can write -\infty < x < 5 which shortens to x < 5

The graph will have an open hole at 5 on the number line, and shading to the left to indicate all points smaller than 5.

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 3x−7. The perimeter of the triangle is 77. Find x.
irinina [24]
Answer: x=13


Step 1: Define isosceles triangle

In an isosceles triangle, two sides and angles are equal. The equal sides will be the legs.

Step 2: Write an equation

To write an equation we must first consider the information discussed in step 1. Since we know that the legs will be equal, we will add that to the equation twice. The base and legs will be on one side of the equation, and the perimeter will be on the other. Now we can write the equation!

x+3x-7+3x-7=77

Step 3: Combine like terms

Like terms are terms that share the same variable, or lack of. Let’s add/subtract these now.

x+3x-7+3x-7=77
7x-14=77

Step 4: Solve for x

Let’s do the last part of the equation and solve for x, our final answer.

*Rewrite equation*
7x-14=77
*Add 14 to both sides*
7x=91
*Divide 7 on both sides*
x=13

This is your answer. Hope this helps! Comment below for more questions.

How many x-intercepts would the function shown below have?<br> f(x) = -5x (2x + 1)? (x² – 6)(x² + 9)
BabaBlast [244]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

f

(

x

)

=

2

x

2

(

x

2

−

9

)

, which can be factorized as

f

(

x

)

=

2

x

2

(

x

+

3

)

(

x

−

3

)

As there is no common factor between numerator and denominator, there s no hole.

Further vertical asymptotes are

x

=

−

3

and

x

=

3

and as

f

(

x

)

=

2

x

2

(

x

2

−

9

)

=

2

1

−

9

x

2

, as

x

→

∞

,

f

(

x

)

→

2

, hence horizontal asymptote is

y

=

2

.

Observe that

f

(

−

x

)

=

f

(

x

)

and hence graph is symmetric w.r.t.

y

-axis. Further as

x

=

0

,

f

(

x

)

=

0

. Using calculas we can find that at

(

0

,

0

)

there is a local maxima as

d

y

d

x

=

−

36

x

(

x

2

−

9

)

2

and at

x

=

0

it is

0

. Further while for

x

<

−

3

and

x

>

3

, function is positive, for

−

3

<

x

<

3

function is negative.

Now take a few values of

x

say

{

−

10

,

−

7

,

−

4

,

−

2

,

−

1

,

1

,

2

,

4

,

7

,

10

}

and corresponding values of

f

(

x

)

are

{

Please Help! Will Give Brainlest! Locks In an Hour!
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

  • B. - 0.383

Step-by-step explanation:

Since cotangent of angle is:

  • cot λ = cos λ / sin γ

And

  • cos λ = x/1, sin λ = y / 1

The value of cot λ is:

  • cot λ = x/y = - 0.358/0.934 = - 0.383 (rounded)

Correct choice is B
