Answer:

=135.53°

Step-by-step explanation:

The bearing that the captain should turn is the angle difference between the two islands from the position of the ship.

Let C be the position of the ship, then

AB is c=160

AC is b=220

BC is a=200

We use the cosine rule as follows:

c²=a²+b²-2ab Cos C

160²=200²+220²-2×200×220 Cos C

25600=88400-88000Cos C

88000 Cos C=88400-25600

88000Cos C=62800

Divide both sides by 88000.

Cos C=62800/88000

=0.7136

C=44.47°

He should turn (180°-44.47°)=135.53°

What is f(2) if f(x) = 2x-5 and f(4) if f(x) = -3x + 15<br> step by step please!
mash [69]

Answer:

f(2) = - 1 and f(4) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(2), substitute x = 2 into f(x), that is

f(2) = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = - 1

To evaluate f(4), substitute x = 4 into f(x)

f(4) = - 3(4) + 15 = - 12 + 15 = 3
