The correct answer to this question is this one:
Regular triangle with :
bearing from the western station = 90° - 40° = 50°
bearing from the eastern station.= 90° + 22° = 112°
-> the third angle : 18°
Thus the distance from balloon to the western station:
x/ sin112 = 165 / sin 18
Answer:
minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a quadratic in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0
Whether the function is maximum or minimum can be determined by consideration of the sign of the coefficient a
• If a > 0 then minimum
• If a < 0 then maximum
For y = - 4 + 3x² the value of a is 3 > 0
Hence y = - 4 + 3x² is a minimum
<u>ANSWER</u>

<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The standard equation of the vertical ellipse with center at the origin is given by

where

The ellipse has its vertices at (0,±17).
This implies that:a=±17 or a²=289
The foci are located at (0,±15).
This implies that:c=±15 or c²=225
We use the following relation to find the value of b²





We substitute into the formula for the standard equation to get:
