Answer:

Approximately 58.2\; \text{nautical miles} (assuming that the bearing is {\rm S$29^{\circ}$W}.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v denote the speed of the ship, and let t denote the duration of the trip. The magnitude of the displacement of this ship would be v\, t.

Refer to the diagram attached. The direction {\rm S$29^{\circ}$W} means 29^{\circ} west of south. Thus, start with the south direction and turn towards west (clockwise) by 29^{\circ} to find the direction of the displacement of the ship.

The hypothenuse of the right triangle in this diagram represents the displacement of the ship, with a length of v\, t. The dashed horizontal line segment represents the distance that the ship has travelled to the west (which this question is asking for.) The angle opposite to that line segment is exactly 29^{\circ}.

Since the hypotenuse is of length v\, t, the dashed line segment opposite to the \theta = 29^{\circ} vertex would have a length of:

\begin{aligned}& \text{opposite (to $\theta$)} \\ =\; & \text{hypotenuse} \times \frac{\text{opposite (to $\theta$)}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \\ =\; & \text{hypotenuse} \times \sin (\theta) \\ =\; & v\, t \, \sin(\theta) \\ =\; & v\, t\, \sin(29^{\circ})\end{aligned}.

Substitute in \begin{aligned} v &= 20\; \frac{\text{nautical mile}}{\text{hour}}\end{aligned} and t = 6\; \text{hour}:

\begin{aligned} & v\, t\, \sin(29^{\circ}) \\ =\; & 20\; \frac{\text{nautical mile}}{\text{hour}} \times 6\; \text{hour} \times \sin(29^{\circ}) \\ \approx\; & 58.2\; \text{nautical mile}\end{aligned}.

at a putt-putt course there are 50 yellow golf balls,45 red golf balls,65 blue golf balls, 40 orange golf balls, and 60 green go
lions [1.4K]
Where is the table,but this is what i did without the table .
 first added all the numbers up and got 260
then i put each color and the total in fraction form
then i simplified:
yellow would be: 50/260=5/26
red would be: 45/260=9/52
blue would be: 65/260=13/52
orange would be: 40/260=4/26
green would be: 60/260=6/26

Math loversss. PLEASE, HELP.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

I can say Now it's a positive fuction so the answer choices B and D with the negative 1 is wrong, sense Y is = 0 since the slope goes through 0

Step-by-step explanation:

My guess is Most likely <u><em>A </em></u>Since C The slope is going left to right which is positive

Help find the perimeter and area please
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

P= 20.2 and A= 15.675

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 base*height. Therefore, the equation for the area of the triangle is 1/2*5.7*5.5. 1/2*5.7=2.85. 2.85*5.5=15.675(area). To find perimeter you're simply adding the numbers. When you add up the numbers of the triangle, you get 20.2.

1.) Find the length of the arc of the graph x^4 = y^6 from x = 1 to x = 8.
xxTIMURxx [149]

First, rewrite the equation so that <em>y</em> is a function of <em>x</em> :

x^4 = y^6 \implies \left(x^4\right)^{1/6} = \left(y^6\right)^{1/6} \implies x^{4/6} = y^{6/6} \implies y = x^{2/3}

(If you were to plot the actual curve, you would have both y=x^{2/3} and y=-x^{2/3}, but one curve is a reflection of the other, so the arc length for 1 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 8 would be the same on both curves. It doesn't matter which "half-curve" you choose to work with.)

The arc length is then given by the definite integral,

\displaystyle \int_1^8 \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2}\,\mathrm dx

We have

y = x^{2/3} \implies \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac23x^{-1/3} \implies \left(\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2 = \dfrac49x^{-2/3}

Then in the integral,

\displaystyle \int_1^8 \sqrt{1 + \frac49x^{-2/3}}\,\mathrm dx = \int_1^8 \sqrt{\frac49x^{-2/3}}\sqrt{\frac94x^{2/3}+1}\,\mathrm dx = \int_1^8 \frac23x^{-1/3} \sqrt{\frac94x^{2/3}+1}\,\mathrm dx

Substitute

u = \dfrac94x^{2/3}+1 \text{ and } \mathrm du = \dfrac{18}{12}x^{-1/3}\,\mathrm dx = \dfrac32x^{-1/3}\,\mathrm dx

This transforms the integral to

\displaystyle \frac49 \int_{13/4}^{10} \sqrt{u}\,\mathrm du

and computing it is trivial:

\displaystyle \frac49 \int_{13/4}^{10} u^{1/2} \,\mathrm du = \frac49\cdot\frac23 u^{3/2}\bigg|_{13/4}^{10} = \frac8{27} \left(10^{3/2} - \left(\frac{13}4\right)^{3/2}\right)

We can simplify this further to

\displaystyle \frac8{27} \left(10\sqrt{10} - \frac{13\sqrt{13}}8\right) = \boxed{\frac{80\sqrt{10}-13\sqrt{13}}{27}}
