Let’s say it takes time t hours for the interception.
In that time the carrier travels 28t nm west and the helicopter 130t nm.
Now we use the sine rule to find the angle x which lies between the distance 175 and 130t.
sin(x)/28t=sin35/130t. So sin(x)=28sin35/130=14sin35/65=0.1235 and x=7.0964 degrees.
Therefore the helicopter should use a bearing of 35+7.0964=42.0964 degrees north of east or 47.9 degrees east of north approx.
This is the Commutative Property of addition. called Commutative because the numbers move around to the other order, or "commute"
Answer:
3%
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation represents exponential decay. Whenever the base is less than 1, the function represents decay. When the base is greater than 1, the function represents growth. In this case, the base is .97 which is less than 1, representing decay.
The formula for exponential decay is y=a(1-r)x.
r is the decay rate, expressed as a decimal.
In this case, r = .03 which represents 3%!
The answer is: -1.66666666667 to be exact
