istance of the boat from it’s starting point

Answer:

193.53 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,

Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees

The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees

Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.

We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.

In the diagram, this is the line AC.

Applying Law of Cosines:

b^2=a^2+c^2-2acCosB\\b^2=207^2+135^2-2(207)(135)Cos65^\circ\\b^2=37453.8654\\b=\sqrt{37453.8654} \\b=193.53\: miles

The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).

C U12122 Write a Sum or Difference as a Product A 8 Questions 1. Use the GCF to rewrite the sum as a product. 30 + 16 a) 8 (3+2)
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

<em>2(15+8)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 30+16

We are to use GCF to rewrite the sum as a product.

Get the factor of each value first as shown;

30 = 2 * 15

16 = 2 * 8

substitute the factors back into the expression:

30+16 = (2*15)+(2*8)

Since 2 is common to both terms, then:

30+16  = 2(15+8)

<em></em>

<em>Hence the required sum of product of the terms is 2(15+8)</em>

5:45 am Thursday

↓

4:45 am Thursday

↓

3:45 am Thursday

↓

2:45 am Thursday

↓

1:45 am Thursday

↓

12:45 am Thursday

Does the following infinite series converge or diverge? 1/3+2/9+4/27+8/81
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

converge

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio that you multiply by to get the next term is 2/3, which is less than 1, so the geometric series converges by the Geometric Series Test.

Which infinite geometric series can you NOT find the sum?
Oksanka [162]

Answer: C) 127, 152.4, 182.88, 219.456,...

Step-by-step explanation:

You can only find the sum of an infinite geometric sequence if it converges.

One criterion to see if the series converges is if:

aₙ < aₙ₋₁

This means that, as n increases, the value of the terms decreases.

This means that as n tends to infinity, aₙ tends to zero.

Then we only can find the sum of those series where the terms are decreasing.

in A, B and D the terms are decreasing, then we can find the sum of those 3 series.

Now in the case of C, the terms are increasing, then we can not find the sum of that series.
