A ship is sailing due north. At a certain point the bearing of a lighthouse is N 42.8∘E and the distance is 10.5. After a while,

the captain notices that the bearing of the lighthouse is now S 59.7∘E. How far did the ship travel between the two observations of the lighthouse?

Answer:

How far did the ship travel between the two observations of the lighthouse  = 9.29

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step to answer this question is drawing the illustration as the attachment.

P is the ship, R is the light house and Q is the bearing.

PR is the distance between the ship and the light house, PR = 10.5

∠P = 42.8°, ∠Q = 59.7°

Thus, ∠R = 180° - ∠P  - ∠Q

               = 180° - 42.8°- 59.7°

               = 77.5°

PQ is the the distance of the ship moving. We can use the sinus equation

\frac{PR}{sin R} = \frac{PQ}{sin Q}

\frac{10.5}{sin 77.5°} = \frac{PQ}{sin 59.7°}

PQ = (\frac{10.5}{Sin 77.5°})(sin 59.7°)

     = 9.29

What is this simplified? Please help
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The end result is -1/(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.

x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)

Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.

(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)

Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.

-1/(x + 1)
