The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in <em>straight</em> line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

A plane that travels a distance r, in kilometers, with a bearing of \theta sexagesimal degrees can be represented in standard position by means of the following expression:

\vec r = r\cdot (\sin\theta, \cos \theta) (1)

We can obtain the resulting vector (\vec R) by the principle of superposition:

\vec R = \Sigma_{i=1}^{n} [r_{i}\cdot (\sin \theta_{i}, \cos \theta_{i})] (2)

If we know that r_{1} = 5\,km, \theta_{1} = 0^{\circ}, r_{2} = 6\,km, \theta_{2} = 60^{\circ}, r_{3} = 4\,km and \theta_{3} = 120^{\circ}, then the resulting vector is:

\vec R = 5\cdot (\sin 0^{\circ}, \cos 0^{\circ}) + 6\cdot (\sin 60^{\circ}, \cos 60^{\circ}) + 4\cdot (\sin 120^{\circ}, \cos 120^{\circ})

\vec R = (5\sqrt{3}, 6) \,[km]

The magnitude of the resultant is found by Pythagorean theorem:

\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{R_{x}^{2}+R_{y}^{2}}

And the bearing is determined by the following <em>inverse</em> trigonometric relationship:

\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{R_{y}}{R_{x}}\right) (3)

If we know that R_{x} = 5\sqrt{3}\,km and R_{y} = 6\,km, then the magnitude and the bearing of the resultant is:

\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{(5\sqrt{3})^{2}+6^{2}}

\|\vec R\| \approx 10.536\,km

\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{6}{5\sqrt{3}} \right)

\theta_{R} \approx 34.715^{\circ}

The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in <em>straight</em> line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

Find the center and radius of the circle described by the equation
Debora [2.8K]
Complete the square fr x and y's sepreatly to get into form
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²
the center is (h,k) and radius is r

so


group x's and y's seperatly
(4x²-10x)+(4y²+24y)+133/4=0
undistribute leading confident from each
4(x²-2.5x)+4(y²+6y)+133/4=0
take 1/2 of each linear confident and square it and add negative and positive inside the parenthasees
-2.5/2=-1.25 (-1.25)²=1.5625
6/2=3, 3²=9
4(x²-2.5x+1.5625-1.5625)+4(y²+6y+9-9)+133/4=0
factor perfect squares
4((x-1.25)²-1.5625)+4((y+3)²-9)+133/4=0
expand
4(x-1.25)²-6.25+4(y+3)²-36+133/4=0
4(x-1.25)²+4(y+3)²-9=0
add 9 to both sides
4(x-1.25)²+4(y+3)²=9
divide both sides by 4
(x-1.25)²+(y+3)²=9/4
(x-1.25)²+(y+3)²=(3/2)²

the center is (1.25,-3) and the radius is 1.5
