How far apart are the planes after 4 hours (to the nearest mile)?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

in 4 hrs

NW plane moves=415*4=1660 miles

East plane moves=327*4=1308 miles

both directions makes angle=90+45=135° with each other.

so we have to find the third side of a triangle opposite 135°

cos~135=\frac{1660^2+1308^2-x^2}{2 \times 1660 \times 1308} \\-\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} \times 2\times 1660 \times 1308=2755600+1710864-x^2\\ x^2=4466464+2171280\sqrt{2} \approx 4466464+3070654 \approx 7537118\\x=\sqrt{7537118} \approx 2745 miles

Find the distances of each plane for the 4 hours, then use the law of cosine.

Lyrx [107]

f(x) 3x+1

g(x) 1x

f(1x) = 3(1x)+1

f = 3x+1

g(3x+1) = 1(3x+1)

g = 3x+1

one days discharge at its mouth, 3 trillion gallons, could supply all of country A’s household for 5 months. how much water an a
serious [3.7K]

let's use engineering notation for the sake of brevity.

1 trillion is 1,000,000,000,000, or just 1E12, twelve zeros.

1 million is then 1E6, six zeros.

we know the discharge for one day is 3E12 gallons, and that'd do just fine for country A for 5 months.  How many gallons in 1 month only?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} gallons&months\\ \cline{1-2} 3E12&5\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{3E12}{x}=\cfrac{5}{1}\implies 3E12=5x \\\\\\ \cfrac{3E12}{5}=x\implies 6E11=x\implies 600000000000=x

if there are 200million inhabitants in A, namely 200E6 or 2E8 inhabitants, how many gallons per inhabitant from all those 6E11 gallons?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} gallons&households\\ \cline{1-2} 6E11&2E8\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{6E11}{x}=\cfrac{2E8}{1}\implies 6E11=2E8x \\\\\\ \cfrac{6E11}{2E8}=x\implies \cfrac{600000000000}{200000000}=x\implies 3000=x
