Answer:

  a) 8.7 km

  b) 187.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

Travel vectors (distance)∠(direction) ...

  • d₁ = 8∠3°
  • d₂ = unknown
  • d₃ = 1∠47°
  • total travel was a round trip

<u>Find</u>

(Rounded to the nearest tenth ...)

  a) |d₂|

  b) ∠d₂

<u>Solution</u>

In order for the sum of the three travel vectors to represent a round trip, their sum must be zero. That is, the value of d₂ must be the opposite of the sum of the other two vectors. A vector calculator can find the desired value easily. Here, we will show the calculation using the law of cosines and the law of sines.

__

a) A diagram can be helpful. Since we want to find the opposite of the sum of the given vectors, we can start by drawing their sum. In our diagram, d₁ is segment AB, and d₃ is segment BC. Their sum is the segment AC.

The internal angle ABC is the supplement of the difference of the angles for d₁ and d₃, so is 180° -(47° -3°) = 136°. Then the law of cosines gives length AC as ...

  AC² = AB² +BC² -2AB·BC·cos(B)

  AC² = 8² +1² -2·8·1·cos(136°) = 65 -16cos(136°) ≈ 76.5094

  AC ≈ √76.5094 ≈ 8.747

The distance traveled on day 2 is about 8.7 km.

__

b) Given the side lengths of a triangle and one angle, the law of sines can be used to find the other angles. Here, it is convenient to find the internal angle at A. The law of sines tells us ...

  sin(A)/BC = sin(B)/AC

  sin(A) = BC/AC·sin(B)

  A = arcsin(BC/AC·sin(B)) = arcsin(1/8.747·sin(136°)) ≈ 4.555°

The direction angle from C to A will be the sum of the 3° direction angle of AB and the internal triangle angle A we just found, added to 180°. That sum is ...

  ∠CA = 180° +3° +4.6° = 187.6°

  ∠d₂ = 187.6°

BabaBlast [244]
Unfortunately you have not included the directions.  Are you supposed to solve for x?  or for y?

Suppose the directions say, "Solve for x."  Then, clear out the decimal fraction by mult. both sides of the given equation by 10.  This will give you the solution, that is, a formula for x in terms of y.

I’ve saved £264. I will spend 3/12 of this. How much do I have left?
lara [203]
Hi there! The answer is £198.

If you spend 3 / 12 of a certain amount of money, you have 9 / 12 of the money left.

Simplify the fraction.
9 / 12 = 3 / 4.

To find the amount of money left, we multiply this factor by 264. We get the following
£264 × 3/4 = £264 × 0.75 = £198

Therefore the answer is £198

What is the sum of the first 70 consecutive odd numbers? Explain.
expeople1 [14]

The sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared! So, the short answer is that the sum of the first 70 odd numbers is 70 squared, i.e. 4900.

Allow me to prove the result: odd numbers come in the form 2n-1, because 2n is always even, and the number immediately before an even number is always odd.

So, if we sum the first N odd numbers, we have

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N 2i-1 = 2\sum_{i=1}^N i - \sum_{i=1}^N 1

The first sum is the sum of all integers from 1 to N, which is N(N+1)/2. We want twice this sum, so we have

\displaystyle 2\sum_{i=1}^N i = 2\cdot\dfrac{N(N+1)}{2}=N(N+1)

The second sum is simply the sum of N ones:

\underbrace{1+1+1\ldots+1}_{N\text{ times}}=N

So, the final result is

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N 2i-1 = 2\sum_{i=1}^N i - \sum_{i=1}^N 1 = N(N+1)-N = N^2+N-N = N^2

which ends the proof.

What is 57/6 simplified?
ludmilkaskok [199]
Answer:
19/2
Step-by-step explanation :
U divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number which is 3
57 divided by 3 = 19
6 divid by 3 = 2
So the answer is 19/2
