Answer:
a^4 - a^3 + a^2 - 2a - (2)/(a + 1)
Answer
8.66025.....or 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright so in the bottom we have 8. If we divide them by 2 it = 4. The answer has to do with The Pythagorean theorem. So <em>a²+b²=c².</em> a=8, b=3. e=?.
8²+3²=e².
64+9= √75
√75 is 8.66.....or 9.
The answer depends on where the ship starts from. If it starts on the equator, the answer is 459.938 miles.
If it starts at 70° N, then the distance is 446.084 miles.
And if the ship is on a flat earth, the distance is 459.954 miles (very close to the distance on a round Earth starting at the equator). Hope this helps!
