Tom starts at point A and then walk 3km east to point B and then walks 4km north to point C calculate the bearings and distance
1 answer:
Answer:
5km
Step-by-step explanation:
Please check the attached image for a diagram explaining this question
The distance from A to C can be determined using Pythagoras theorem
The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²
where a = length
b = base
c = hypotenuse
3² + 4²
= 16 + 9
= 25
determine the square root of 25
√25 = 5km

To find the x-intercepts, we need to factorize the function. A very good idea is to first try the factors of 36:
f(1)=1-11+36-36, not 0
f(2)=8-44+72-36=-36+72-36=0. Here we have our first root (2).
Now we cad divide f(x) by (x-2) which will give us a quadratic expression, which we can factorize easily (if the discriminant is non negative).
We can also try some other factors of 36. Indeed we can check that
f(3)=27-99+108-36=135-135=0,
and
f(6)=216-396+216-36=0.
Thus, f(x)=(x-2)(x-3)(x-6). Note that if we expanded the right hand side expression, the constant term would be the product of the constants 2, 3, 6.
This is the reason why in the first place we looked at the factors of 36 for the possible zeros of f(x).
Thus, the x-intercepts are (2, 0), (3, 0), (6, 0), or 2, 3, 6.
The y-intercept is f(0), which is -36.
Note that f(0)<f(2) because f(0)=-36 and f(2)=0. This means that at the left side, the graph is coming from - infinity. Similarly,
we can check that f(10)=1000-1100+360-36=224> f(6). That is, to the right of our rightmost root, the graph is getting larger.
Thus, the end behaviors are: the graph goes to + infinity as x goes to + infinity,
and it goes to minus infinity as x goes to - infinity.
