Answer:

The directional earing is N 30° E

Step-by-step explanation:

The given velocity vector is (25, 25·√3), therefor, we have;

R = 25·i + 25·√3·j

The angle of inclination of the direction of the boat with the horizontal = Arctan (y/x)

Where;

(x, y) = The coordinate of the components of the velocity of the boat

Therefore;

Arctan (y/x) = Arctan (25·√3/25) = Arctan (√3) = 60° North of East

The directional bearing which is the bearing relative to the northern direction is given as follows;

The directional earing = 90° - 60° = N 30° E.

What is the sum of all values of m that satisfy 2m (squared) -16m+8=0?

vodomira [7]

<h2>Steps:</h2>

So for this, we will be completing the square to solve for m. Firstly, subtract 8 on both sides:

$2m^2-16m=-8$

Next, divide both sides by 2:

$m^2-8m=-4$

Next, we want to make the left side of the equation a perfect square. To find the constant of this perfect square, divide the m coefficient by 2, then square the quotient. In this case:

-8 ÷ 2 = -4, (-4)² = 16

Add 16 to both sides of the equation:

$m^2-8m+16=12$

Next, factor the left side:

$(m-4)^2=12$

Next, square root both sides of the equation:

$m-4=\pm \sqrt{12}$

Next, add 4 to both sides of the equation:

$m=4\pm \sqrt{12}$

Now, while this is your answer, you can further simplify the radical using the product rule of radicals:

Product rule of radicals: √ab = √a × √b

√12 = √4 × √3 = 2√3.

$m=4\pm 2\sqrt{3}$

<h2>Answer:</h2>

In exact form, your answer is $m=4\pm \sqrt{12}\ \textsf{OR}\ m=4\pm 2\sqrt{3}$

In approximate form, your answers are (rounded to the hundreths) $m=7.46, 0.54$

Damm [24]

There are many theories and measurement for the speed of light. It is believed that light travels at 299,792 km per second. In the earlier day philosopher Aristotle believed that light didn't travel but happens instantaneously. Therefore, for Galileo and his assistant to be only 1km apart, I would have to agree with Aristotle theory of light traveling instantaneously.

student randomly receive 1 of 4 versions(A, B, C, D) of a math test. What is the probability that at least 3 of the 5 student te

alexdok [17]

Answer:

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the students receive different versions of the math namely A, B, C and D.

So, the probability that a student receives version A = $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Thus, the probability that the student does not receive version A = $1-\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ .

So, the possibilities that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A are,

1) 3 receives version A and 2 does not receive version A

2) 4 receives version A and 1 does not receive version A

3) All 5 students receive version A

Then the probability that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A is given by,

$\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}$
