Answer:

The point C is 12.68 km away from the point A on a bearing of S23.23°W.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that AB is 50 km and BC is 40 km as shown in the figure.

From the figure, the length of x-component of AC = |AB sin 80° - BC cos 20°|

=|50 sin 80° - 40 cos 20°|=11.65 km

The length of y-component of AC = |AB cos 80° - BC sin 20°|

=|50 cos 80° - 40 sin 20°|= 5 km

tan\theta= 5/11.65

\theta=23.23°

AC= \sqrt{5^2+11.65^2}=12.68 km

Hence, the point C is 12.68 km away from the point A on a bearing of S23.23°W.

<h3>Answer:    y = x+1</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

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

f ' (x) = 3x^2 - 2 ..... apply the power rule

f ' (1) = 3(1)^2 - 2 ... plug in x coordinate of given point

f ' (1) = 1

If x = 1 is plugged into the derivative function, then we get the output 1. This means the slope of the tangent line at (1,2) is m = 1. It's just a coincidence that the x input value is the same as the slope m value.

Now apply point slope form to find the equation of the tangent line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 1(x - 1)

y - 2 = x - 1

y = x - 1 + 2

y = x + 1   is the equation of the tangent line.

The graph is shown below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph.

The area of a trapezoid field is 480 square m. The distance between two parallel sides is 15 m and one of the parallel sides is
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

44m

Step-by-step explanation:

area  of a trapezoid = (a+b)* h/2

since the distance between two parallel sides is 15, that would be your height

plug everything in and you get:

480 = (20 + b) *15/2

b = 44
