Answer:

19.1 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation given represents a right triangle.

Thus, we would use trigonometric function to find how far north the boat travelled.

Let's represent how far the boat travelled north with "x".

Thus:

Reference angle = 23°

Opposite = x

Adjacent = 45 miles

Apply TOA:

Tan 23° = Opp/Adj

Tan 23° = x/45

Multiply both sides by 45

45 × Tan 23° = x

x = 45 × Tan 23°

x = 19.1013667

x = 19.1 miles (nearest tenth of a mile)

Just divide 100% by 80% and multiply that answer by 5. I'm pretty sure that's how you do it.

The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice.

Harman [31]

Answer-

The amount of water is the dependent value.

Solution-

Plotting the graph from the given data points, it comes out to be a straight line with positive slope. So, both the variables i.e amount of rice and amount of water are in a linear relationship. They are directly proportional to each other.

As the amount of rice increases, the water needed to cook the rice also increases. Plotting a graph taking amount of rice in abscissa and amount of water in ordinate, a straight line was obtained.

Here, amount of rice is the independent variable and amount of water is dependent variable as it depends on the amount of rice.

Show that cos(3x) = cos3(x) − 3 sin2(x)cos(x). (Hint: Use cos(2x) = cos2(x) − sin2(x) and the cosine sum

otez555 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove:

$\cos 3x=\cos^3x-3\sin^2 x\cos x$

Identities used:

$\cos(A+B)=\cos A\cos B+\sin A\sin B$ ......(1)

$\sin 2A=2\sin A\cos A$ ........(2)

$\cos 2A=\cos^2A-\sin^2 A$ .......(3)

Taking the LHS:

$\Rightarrow \cos 3x=\cos (x+2x)$

Using identity 1:

$\Rightarrow \cos (x+2x)=\cos x\cos 2x-\sin x\sin 2x$

Using identities 2 and 3:

$\Rightarrow \cos x(\cos ^2x-\sin^2 x)-\sin x(2\sin x\cos x)\\\\\Rightarrow \cos^3x-\sin^2x\cos x-2\sin^2 x\cos x\\\\\Rightarrow \cos^3x-3\sin^2x\cos x$

As, LHS = RHS

Hence proved

when determining whether proportion are Equal we need to do which of the following? .addition, .multiply straight across, dividi

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Cross Multiplying.

Step-by-step explanation:

By multiplying each ratio by the second number of the other ratio, you can determine if they are equivalent. Multiply both numbers in the first ratio by the second number of the second ratio. For example, if the ratios are 3:5 and 9:15, multiply 3 by 15 and 5 by 15 to get 45:75.
