Answer:

Resultant speed = 12 km/h.

Bearing is 107.14 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be represented by a triangle of velocities with lengths 15 and 5 with the included angle = 45 degrees.

To find the velocity of the resultant  we use cosine rule:

v^2 = 15^2 + 5^2 - 2*5*15cos 45

v^2 = 143.934

v = 12.0 km/h to the nearest tenth.

To find the bearing we use the sine rule to find the angle down from due east>

12 / sin 45 = 5/ sin x

sin x =  5 sin 45 / 12 = 0.2946278

x = 17.14 degrees.

Bearing is therefore 90 + 17.14 = 107.14 degrees.

Factor Completely<br><br> 2x²-4x+6
vagabundo [1.1K]


okay well usually what I would tell you would be to use the ABC method. you would multiply A (2) by C (6) to get twelve. so you need two numbers that multiply to twelve and add to -4 (the B value). but there are no numbers that fit this description so you have to use the GCF method instead

for this method you must find the GCF for all three numbers which in this case is 2.        2(x^2-2x+3) all these numbers are now prime so this is the factored form
