Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

He can make 2 pies with one cup of sugar so he can make 40 pies with 20 cups of sugar. He already used a cup of sugar so the total is 19 (20-1)

Problem 1

Draw a straight line and plot P anywhere on it. Use the compass to trace out a faint circle of radius 8 cm with center P. This circle crosses the previous line at point Q.

Repeat these steps to set up another circle centered at Q and keep the radius the same. The two circles cross at two locations. Let's mark one of those locations point X. From here, we could connect points X, P, Q to form an equilateral triangle. However, we only want the 60 degree angle from it.

With P as the center, draw another circle with radius 7.5 cm. This circle will cross the ray PX at location R.

Refer to the diagram below.

Problem 2

I'm not sure why your teacher wants you to use a compass and straightedge to construct an 80 degree angle. Such a task is not possible. The proof is lengthy but look up the term "constructible angles" and you'll find that only angles of the form 3n are possible to make with compass/straight edge.

In other words, you can only do multiples of 3. Unfortunately 80 is not a multiple of 3. I used GeoGebra to create the image below, as well as problem 1.

What is the derivative of y = x^(lnx)? Show your solution.

aleksley [76]

Hello,

ln(y)=ln(x^(ln(x))=ln(x)*ln(x)=(ln(x))²

(ln(y))'=2ln(x)*1/x
(1/y)*y'=2ln(x) / x
y'=(2 ln(x) * x^(ln(x)) ) /x

A surveyor leaves her base camp and drives 42km on a bearing of 032degree she then drives 28km on a bearing of 154degree,how far

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The surveyor is 36.076 kilometers far from her camp and her bearing is 16.840° (standard form).

Step-by-step explanation:

The final position of the surveyor is represented by the following vectorial sum:

$\vec r = \vec r_{1} + \vec r_{2} + \vec r_{3}$ (1)

And this formula is expanded by definition of vectors in rectangular and polar form:

$(x,y) = r_{1}\cdot (\cos \theta_{1}, \sin \theta_{1}) + r_{2}\cdot (\cos \theta_{2}, \sin \theta_{2})$ (1b)

Where:

$x, y$ - Resulting coordinates of the final position of the surveyor with respect to origin, in kilometers.

$r_{1}, r_{2}$ - Length of each vector, in kilometers.

$\theta_{1}, \theta_{2}$ - Bearing of each vector in standard position, in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that $r_{1} = 42\,km$ , $r_{2} = 28\,km$ , $\theta_{1} = 32^{\circ}$ and $\theta_{2} = 154^{\circ}$ , then the resulting coordinates of the final position of the surveyor is:

$(x,y) = (42\,km)\cdot (\cos 32^{\circ}, \sin 32^{\circ}) + (28\,km)\cdot (\cos 154^{\circ}, \sin 154^{\circ})$

$(x,y) = (35.618, 22.257) + (-25.166, 12.274)\,[km]$

$(x,y) = (10.452, 34.531)\,[km]$

According to this, the resulting vector is locating in the first quadrant. The bearing of the vector is determined by the following definition:

$\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{10.452\,km}{34.531\,km}$

$\theta \approx 16.840^{\circ}$

And the distance from the camp is calculated by the Pythagorean Theorem:

$r = \sqrt{(10.452\,km)^{2}+(34.531\,km)^{2}}$

$r = 36.078\,km$

The surveyor is 36.076 kilometers far from her camp and her bearing is 16.840° (standard form).
