Answer:

509.35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

16°23' means 16 degrees and 23 minutes.  A minute is 1/60 of a degree.

16°23' = 16 + (23/60) = 16.383°

Similarly:

49°29' = 49 + (29/60) = 49.483°

When the boat is first noticed:

tan(16.383°) = 200 / a

a = 200 / tan(16.383°)

a = 680.27

When the boat stops:

tan(49.483°) = 200 / b

b = 200 / tan(49.483°)

b = 170.92

So the difference is:

a − b = 680.27 − 170.92 = 509.35

The boat traveled 509.35 feet from the time it was first noticed to the time it stopped.

Radda [10]

Answer:

S = v1 t1 = 7 t1    traveling downstream

S = v2 t2 = 5 t2    traveling upstream

7 t1 = 5 t2

7 (6 - t2) = 5 t2     since t1 + t2 = 6

42 - 7 t2 = 5 t2

t2 = 42 / 12 = 3.5 hrs so t1 = 2.5 hrs

S = 7 t1 = 7 * 2.5 = 17.5 mi

Also, S = 5 t2 = 5 * 3.5 = 17.5 mi

The function f(x) = x2. The graph of g(x) is f(x) translated to the right 3 units and down 3 units. What is the function rule fo
Kaylis [27]

The rule for g(x) is: f(x) = (x-3)^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is:

f(x) = x^2

When a function f(x) is shifted right or left, b units the new function is written as:

f(x) = x

Shifting right

g(x) = f(x-b)

Shifting left

g(x) = f(x+b)

Similarly, when shifting up or down

g(x) = f(x)+b => Up\\g(x) = f(x) - b => Down

As our given function is shifted 3 units to the right, it will be written as:

f(x) = (x-3)^2

The function is when moved down 3 units, then

f(x) = (x-3)^2-3

Hence

The rule for g(x) is: f(x) = (x-3)^2-3
