Answer:

iv ; xy + x/y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A non linear equation is one in which there is no product of two different variables or the same variable

What this mean is that we have the highest polynomial power as 1 or we simply have polynomials of degree 1

Looking at the given options, we can see the product xy

What this mean is that the polynomial is of degree 2 and that makes the equation a non linear as we have a polynomial of more than 1 degree

A person is watching a boat from the top of a lighthouse. The boat is approaching the lighthouse directly. When first noticed, t

If we let
x as the distance traveled by the boat
y as the distance between the boat and the lighthouse.

Then, we have:
tan 18°33' = 200 / (x + y)
and
tan 51°33' = 200 / y

Solving for y in the second equation:
y = 200 / tan 51°33'

Rearranging the first equation and substituting y
x = 200 / tan 18°33' - 200 / tan 55°33'
x = 458.81 ft

Therefore, the boat traveled 458.81 ft before it stopped.
