Answer:

The surveyor is 36.076 kilometers far from her camp and her bearing is 16.840° (standard form).

Step-by-step explanation:

The final position of the surveyor is represented by the following vectorial sum:

\vec r = \vec r_{1} + \vec r_{2} + \vec r_{3} (1)

And this formula is expanded by definition of vectors in rectangular and polar form:

(x,y) = r_{1}\cdot (\cos \theta_{1}, \sin \theta_{1}) + r_{2}\cdot (\cos \theta_{2}, \sin \theta_{2}) (1b)

Where:

x, y - Resulting coordinates of the final position of the surveyor with respect to origin, in kilometers.

r_{1}, r_{2} - Length of each vector, in kilometers.

\theta_{1}, \theta_{2} - Bearing of each vector in standard position, in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that r_{1} = 42\,km, r_{2} = 28\,km, \theta_{1} = 32^{\circ} and \theta_{2} = 154^{\circ}, then the resulting coordinates of the final position of the surveyor is:

(x,y) = (42\,km)\cdot (\cos 32^{\circ}, \sin 32^{\circ}) + (28\,km)\cdot (\cos 154^{\circ}, \sin 154^{\circ})

(x,y) = (35.618, 22.257) + (-25.166, 12.274)\,[km]

(x,y) = (10.452, 34.531)\,[km]

According to this, the resulting vector is locating in the first quadrant. The bearing of the vector is determined by the following definition:

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{10.452\,km}{34.531\,km}

\theta \approx 16.840^{\circ}

And the distance from the camp is calculated by the Pythagorean Theorem:

r = \sqrt{(10.452\,km)^{2}+(34.531\,km)^{2}}

r = 36.078\,km

The surveyor is 36.076 kilometers far from her camp and her bearing is 16.840° (standard form).

A Gardner is planting two types of trees
Nina [5.8K]

It will take 6 years for the trees to have same height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Type A tree;

Initial height = 9 feet

We will convert feet into inches because growth is in inches.

1 feet = 12 inches

9 feet = 12*9 = 108 inches

Growth rate = 6 inches per year

Let,

x be the number of years.

A(x) = 108 + 6x

Type B;

Initial height = 4 feet = 4*12 = 48 inches

Growth rate = 16 inches per year

B(x) = 48 + 16x

The height will be same, when functions are equal

A(x) = B(x)

108+6x=48+16x\\108-48=16x-6x\\60=10x\\10x=60

Dividing both sides by 6

\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{60}{10}\\x=6

It will take 6 years for the trees to have same height.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: They are wrong

       

Step-by-step explanation: x is given a value in the problem. Since x equals 4,  We plug x into the equation.  

y = 2(4) + 1

Y is actually equal to 9 minutes, not twelve.
