Ship A and Ship B are 120 km apart when they pick up a distress call from another boat. Ship B estimates that they are 70 km awa

y from the distress call. They also notice that the angle between the line from ship B to ship A and the line from ship A to the distress call is 28°. What are the two possible distances, to the nearest TENTH of a km, from ship A to the boat?

Answer:

147.5 km and 64.4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

a=120  km

b=70  km

β=28 degrees ( ∘)

 

b^2=(a^2)+(c^2)−2ac*cosβ  

70^2 =(120^2 )+(c^2)−2⋅ 120⋅ c⋅ cos(28∘ )  

 (c^2 ) −211.907c+9500=0  

 

note p, q, and r are replacement variables in the Pythagorean theorem since a, b, and c are already in use

p=1;q=−211.907;r=9500  

D=(q^2 ) −4pr=(211.907^2 )−4⋅1⋅9500=6904.75561996  

D>0  

 

c_{1,2}  =   (−q±  \sqrt{D}   )/2p=(211.91±\sqrt{6904.76})/2

​c_{1,2}  =105.95371114±41.5474295834  

(c_{1}−147.501140726)(c_{2}−64.4062815596)=0

c_{1}=147.501140726  

c_{2}=64.4062815596

Find (f*g)(x) when f(x)=x^2-7x+12 and g(x)=7/x^2-16
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  (f\cdot g)(x)=\dfrac{7x-21}{x+4}

Step-by-step explanation:

(f\cdot g)(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)=(x^2-7x+12)\cdot\dfrac{7}{x^2-16}\\\\=7\dfrac{(x-3)(x-4)}{(x+4)(x-4)}=\dfrac{7(x-3)}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{7x-21}{x+4}
