Find an equation of variation in which y varies directly as x and y = 0.4 when x = 0.5. then find the value of y when x=15

We are given with the coordinates of one of the points of a line which is
(1,2)
In order to generate an equation of a line, we need at least one other point or the slope of the line. If we are given with the slope of line, we can use the point slope form which is
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
substituting
y - 2 = m(x - 1)

A ship leaves port at 10 miles per hour, with a heading of N 35° W. There is a warning buoy located 5 miles directly north of th

Leno4ka [110]

The value of the angle subtended by the distance of the buoy from the

port is given by sine and cosine rule.

The bearing of the buoy from the is approximately 307.35°

Reasons:

Location from which the ship sails = Port

The speed of the ship = 10 mph

Direction of the ship = N35°W

Location of the warning buoy = 5 miles north of the port

Required: The bearing of the warning buoy from the ship after 7.5 hours.

Solution:

The distance travelled by the ship = 7.5 hours × 10 mph = 75 miles

By cosine rule, we have;

a² = b² + c² - 2·b·c·cos(A)

Where;

a = The distance between the ship and the buoy

b = The distance between the ship and the port = 75 miles

c = The distance between the buoy and the port = 5 miles

Angle ∠A = The angle between the ship and the buoy = The bearing of the ship = 35°

Which gives;

a = √(75² + 5² - 2 × 75 × 5 × cos(35°))

By sine rule, we have;

$\displaystyle \frac{a}{sin(A)} = \mathbf{ \frac{b}{sin(B)}}$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle sin(B)= \frac{b \cdot sin(A)}{a}$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle sin(B) = \mathbf{\frac{75 \cdot sin(35^{\circ})}{\sqrt{75^2 + 5^2 - 2 \times 75\times5\times cos(35^{\circ}) } }}$

$\displaystyle B = arcsin\left( \frac{75 \cdot sin(35^{\circ})}{\sqrt{75^2 + 5^2 - 2 \times 75\times5\times cos(35^{\circ}) } }\right) \approx 37.32^{\circ}$

Similarly, we can get;

$\displaystyle B = arcsin\left( \frac{75 \cdot sin(35^{\circ})}{\sqrt{75^2 + 5^2 - 2 \times 75\times5\times cos(35^{\circ}) } }\right) \approx \mathbf{ 142.68^{\circ}}$

The angle subtended by the distance of the buoy from the port, C is therefore;

C ≈ 180° - 142.68° - 35° ≈ 2.32°

By alternate interior angles, we have;

The bearing of the warning buoy as seen from the ship is therefore;

Bearing of buoy ≈ 270° + 35° + 2.32° ≈ 307.35°

How many lines of symmetry does a regular decagon have? 8 10 11 12

bixtya [17]

The number of sides is the same as the number of lines of symmetry and the order of rotational symmetry.

So, a regular decagon would have 10 lines of symmetry.
