Answer:

3. [1, −2]

2. [−3, 3]

1. [−7, 10]

Step-by-step explanation:

{7⁄2x - ½y = 9⁄2

{3x - y = 5

-6⁄7[7⁄2x - ½y = 9⁄2]

{−3x + 3⁄7y = −3 6⁄7 >> New Equation

{3x - y = 5

_________________

-4⁄7y = 1 1⁄7

-2 = y [Plug this back into both equations above to get the x-coordinate of 1]; 1 = x

__________________________________________________________

{−3x + 9y = 36

{4x + 12y = 24

¾[4x + 12y = 24]

{−3x + 9y = 36

{3x + 9y = 18

______________

18y = 54

___ ___

18 18

y = 3 [Plug this back into both equations above to get the x-coordinate of −3]; −3 = x

__________________________________________________________

{4x − y = −38

{x + y = 3

_____________

5x = -35

___ ____

Represent the following sentence as an algebraic expression, where "a number" is the letter x. You do not need to simplify.

My name is Ann [436]

<h3>Answer: (2x)^3</h3>

Work Shown:

x = some unknown number

2x = twice the number

(2x)^3 = cubing the previous result

If you want to simplify this expression, then you would get 8x^3 since 2^3 = 8.

Distance between two ships At noon, ship A was 12 nautical miles due north of ship B. Ship A was sailing south at 12 knots (naut

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) $\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}$ b.) -12knots, 8 knots c) No e) $4\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the initial distance between ships A and B was 12 nautical miles. Ship A moves at 12 knots(nautical miles per hour) south. Ship B moves at 8 knots east.

We know that at time t , the ship A has moved $12\dot t (n.m)$ and ship B has moved $8\dot t (n.m)$ . We also know that the ship A moves closer to the line of the movement of B and that ship B moves further on its line.

Using Pythagorean theorem, we can write the distance s as:

$\sqrt{(12-12\dot t)^2 + (8\dot t)^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+144t^2+64t^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}$

We want to find $\frac{ds}{dt}$ for t=0 and t=1

$\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}|\frac{d}{dt}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\dot (-288+416t)\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(0)=\frac{208\dot 0-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 0 + 209\dot 0^2}}=-12knots\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(1)=\frac{208\dot 1-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 1 + 209\dot 1^2}}=8knots$

We know that the visibility was 5n.m. We want to see whether the distance s was under 5 miles at any point.

Ships have seen each other = $s\leq 5\\\\\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}\leq 5\\\\144-288t+208t^2\leq 25\\\\199-288t+208t^2\leq 0$

Since function $f(x)=199-288x+208x^2$ is quadratic, concave up and has no real roots, we know that $199-288x+208x^2>0$ for every t. So, the ships haven't seen each other.

Attachedis the graph of s(red) and ds/dt(blue). We can see that our results from parts b and c were correct.

Function ds/dt has a horizontal asympote in the first quadrant if

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}$

So, lets check this limit:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208-\frac{144}{t}}{\sqrt{\frac{144}{t^2}-\frac{288}{t}+208}}\\\\=\frac{208-0}{\sqrt{0-0+208}}\\\\=\frac{208}{\sqrt{208}}\\\\=4\sqrt{13}$

Notice that:

$4\sqrt{13}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}$ =√(speed of ship A² + speed of ship B²)
