The shortest path from a starting point to an endpoint, regardless of the path taken, is called the geodesic. In flat (Euclidean) space it is simply a straight line.

It is called the displacement, since it is the shortest path between two given points.

Two boats left a base camp at bearing of S60°E and S50°W at speeds of 50km/h and 70km/h respectively. Find the distance between

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

197.93 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base camp is point A and boats' locations after two hours are points B and C.

By connecting the three points together we get a triangle ABC with sides:

AB = 50*2 = 100 km
AC = 70*2 = 140 km

The angle between AB and AC is:

60 + 50 = 110 degrees (opposite directions from south)

We are looking for the distance BC, which can be found by using the law of cosines:

BC² = AB² + AC² - 2AB*AC*cos ∠BAC

BC² = 100² + 140² - 2*100*140*cos 110°
BC² = 39176.56 (rounded)
BC = √39176.56 = 197.93 km (rounded)

The distance between the boats is 197.93 km.

What is the solution to the system of equations? 6x – 9y = 16 2x – 3y = 7

kifflom [539]

The first step for solving this problem is to multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -3.
$\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {-6x + 9y = -21}} \right.$
Add the two equations together.
6x - 9y - 6x + 9y = 16 - 21
Eliminate the opposites.
-9y + 9y = 16 - 21
Remember that the sum of two opposites equals 0,, so the equation becomes the following:
0 = 16 - 21
Calculate the difference on the right side of the equation.
0 = -5
This means that the statement $\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {2x-3y=7}} \right.$ is false for any value of x and y. That means that the answer to your question is (x,y) ∈ ∅,, or no solution.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
