A man travels at 42 degrees northwest, and ends up 8.5 miles west of his starting point. How far did he travel?

Mathematics

Zarrin [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The man traveled 12.70 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance traveled by the man knowing:

d_{W}: the distance at the west = 8.5 miles

\theta_{NW}: the northwest angle = 42°

Then by using the following trigonometric identity we have:

sin(\theta) = \frac{d_{W}}{d_{NW}}

d_{NW} = \frac{d_{W}}{sin(\theta)} = \frac{8.5 miles}{sin(42)} = 12.70 miles

Therefore, the man traveled 12.70 miles.

I hope it helps you!

The population of a county is growing at a rate of 9% per year, compounded continuously. How many years will it take for the pop
torisob [31]

Answer:

t=15.4\ years

Step-by-step explanation:

The  exponential growth function compounded continuously is equal to

A=P(e)^{rt}  

where  

A is the final population  

P is the initial population  

r is the rate of growth in decimal  

t is Number of years

e is the mathematical constant number

we have  

A=4x\\P=x\\ r=9\%=9/100=0.09  

substitute in the function above

4x=x(e)^{0.09t}    

simplify

4=(e)^{0.09t}

Take natural log of both sides

ln(4)=ln[(e)^{0.09t}]

ln(4)=0.09t(ln(e))

ln(e)=1

ln(4)=0.09t

t=ln(4)/0.09

t=15.4\ years

Answer:

  A) $157,555

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of assets is ...

  house + 2 cars = $280,000 +5,200 +15,600 = $300,800

The sum of liabilities is ...

  mortgage +car loan +credit card +wedding

  = $113,545 +9,200 +2,300 +18,200 = $143,245

The family's net worth is the difference between assets and liabilities:

  $300,800 -143,245 = $157,555
