Answer:

c = 22.8 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The ship A sails north at the rate of 14 mile per hour , it represent the opposite side of a triangle. Ship B start at the same point and move east at the rate of 18 miles per hour, it represent the adjacent side.

The other rate telling you how fast the distance between them are changing can be computed using the Pythagorean theorem, since the change in time is 1 hour. From 12 noon to 1 pm.

c = ?

a = 14

b = 18

c² = a² + b²

c² = 14² + 18²

c² = 196  + 324

c² = 520

c = √520

c = 22.803508502

c = 22.8 miles/hr

How do I do this <br> X+y=-4<br> 3x-6y=15
avanturin [10]

Answer:

x=-1, y=-3. (-1, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=-4

3x-6y=15

---------------

x=-4-y

3(-4-y)-6y=15

-12-3y-6y=15

-12-9y=15

9y=-12-15

9y=-27

y=-27/9

y=-3

x+(-3)=-4

x-3=-4

x=-4+3

x=-1

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Though x and y can be achieved in a system of equations. The equation

x (t)=0.0411905(t^2)+(-0.164619)t+28.0114

And

y (t)=-0.024127(t^2)+(-0.591143)t+(-87.4403)

Are not system of equations but rather two different models of equations. Nevertheless

To find t in the first equation, x(t) has to be equal to zero.

When the t is substituted in the second equation, t will completely disappear. Given the value of y(t) and vice versa.
