Answer:

a) 123.4°

b) 3.3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

In (N, E) coordinates, Boat 1 is located relative to the lighthouse at ...

2(cos(60°), sin(60°)) = (1.0, 1.732) . . . . . km

Boat 2 is located at ...

3(cost(340°), sin(340°)) = (2.819, -1.026) . . . . . km

So, relative to Boat 2, Boat 1 is located at ...

(1, 1.732) -(2.819, -1.026) = (-1.819, 2.758) . . . . . km

This is at a bearing of ...

arctan(2.758/-1.819) = 123.4°

and a distance of ...

√(1.819² +2.758²) ≈ 3.304 . . . . . km

a) Boat 2 would need to travel on a bearing of 123.4°.

b) Boat 2 would need to travel 3.3 km.

<em>Additional comment</em>

We use (North, East) coordinates so we don't have to do the mental gyrations necessary to translate to and from (E, N) coordinates. The latter would correctly orient a map relative to the X-Y Cartesian plane. The former are equivalent to flipping the map over and looking at it from the back side. This is a "rigid transformation", so angles and distances remain unchanged.

Answer C and D please

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

C. solution:

3(3c-2) = 5(2c-1)

or, 9c-6 = 10c-5

or, -6+5 =<em> </em>10c-9c

or, -1 = 1c

Hence, c = -1.

D. solution:

5(5-2a) = 4(6-a)

or, 25-10a = 24 - 4a

or, 25-24 = -4a+10a

or, 1 = 6a

or, 1/6 = a

Hence, a = 1/6.

{(24p – 66) = 3p + 43

Alenkinab [10]

$\text {Hello! Let's Solve this Equation!}$

$\text {\underline {The First Step is to Subtract 3p}}$

$\text {24p-66-3p=3p+43-3p}$

$\text {Your New Problem Is: 21p-66=43}$

$\text {\underline {The Next Step Is to Add 66}}$

$\text {21p-66+66=43+66}$

$\text {Your New Problem Is: 21p=109}$

$\text {\underline {The Final Step is to Divide 21}}$

$\text {21p/21=109/21}$

$\text {Your Answer Would Be:}$

$\fbox {p=109/21}$

$\text {Best of Luck!}$

you get $2,000 loan at 9% interest rate and pays it back in 6 months. how much intereast will you pay on the loan

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$90

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 9%/100 = 0.09 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 2000 × 0.09 × 0.5 = 90

I = $ 90.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 2,000.00

at a rate of 9% per year

for 0.5 years is $ 90.00.
