Initially a ship and a submarine are stationary at sea level, positioned 1.78km apart. The submarine then manoeuvres to position

A, 45m directly below its starting point. In a second manoeuvre, the submarine dives a further 62m to position point B.
A) find the angle of elevation of the ship from the submarine is at position A.
B) find the angle of elevation of the ship when the submarine is at position B.

I’m assuming ‘dives further’ means to go directly down

the angle of elevation of the ship from the submarine is equal to the angle of depression of the submarine from the ship, if we assume the sea level is perpendicular to ‘directly down’.

let both of these angles to be = $ when the submarine is at A and ¥ when the submarine is at B (excuse the lack of easily accessible variables as keys)

then this become a simple trig problem:

A)

Let O be the position of of the ship, and C be the original position of the submarine.

therefore, not considering direction

|OC| = 1.78km = 1780m

|CA| = 45m

these are the adjacent and opposite sides of a right angled triangle.

But tan($) = opp/adj = |CA|/|OC| = 45/1780

therefore $ = arctan(45/1780) which is roughly 1.45 degrees,

B)

similarly, noting that |CB| = |CA| + |AB| = 45 + 62 = 107m


tan(¥) = 107/1780

¥ = arctan(107/1780) which is roughly 3.44 degrees

Answer:

(Véase la explicación para mayores detalles/See the explanation for further details)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Tres al cubo (Three to cube):

x = 3 \times 3 \times 3

x = 3^{3}

x = 27

b) Seis al cubo (Six to cube):

x = 6 \times 6 \times 6

x = 6^{3}

x = 216

c) Cinco al cuadrado (Five squared):

x = 5 \times 5

x = 5^{2}

x = 25

d) Ocho al cuadrado (Eight squared):

x = 8 \times 8

x = 8^{2}

x = 64

e) Dos a la quinta (Two to five):

x = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2

x = 2^{5}

x = 32

f) Diez a la cuarta (Ten to four):

x = 10\times 10 \times 10 \times 10

x = 10^{4}

x = 10000

Elena receives ​$131 per year in simple interest from three investments totaling ​$3000. Part is invested at​ 3%, part at​ 4% an
ioda

Answer:

Elena invested $ 1,700 at 5%, $ 700 at 4%, and $ 600 at 3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Elena receives $ 131 per year in simple interest from three investments totaling $ 3000, and part is invested at 3%, part at 4% and part at 5%, and there is $ 1000 more invested at 5% than at 4%, to find the amount invested at each rate, the following calculations must be performed:

1500 x 0.05 + 500 x 0.04 + 1000 x 0.03 = 75 + 20 + 30 = 125

1600 x 0.05 + 600 x 0.04 + 800 x 0.03 = 80 + 24 + 24 = 128

1700 x 0.05 + 700 x 0.04 + 600 x 0.03 = 85 + 28 + 18 = 131

Therefore, Elena invested $ 1,700 at 5%, $ 700 at 4%, and $ 600 at 3%
