A sailor is 30m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat. The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depression of 15 degrees. The crows nest is 20 m horizontally from the bow (front) of the boat. How far in front of the boat is the orca?

Answers

Answer 1

Given :

A sailor is 30 m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat.

The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depression of 15 degrees.

The crows nest is 20 m horizontally from the bow (front) of the boat.

To Find :

How far in front of the boat is the orca.

Solution :

Let, distance of boat front from the crow's nest is x.

So,

[tex]\dfrac{30}{20+x}=tan \ 15^{\circ}\\\\x=\dfrac{30}{tan \ 15^{\circ}}-20\\\\x=111.94-20\\\\x=91.94\ m[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

The angle o represents the phase shift, determined by the initial conditions of the experiment or the position of the weight at t = 0. If the weight is at its maximum positive position (weight is above equilibrium) at t = 0, then o = 0. If the weight is at its maximum negative position (spring is stretched and weight is below equilibrium) at t = 0, then o = pi. If the weight is traveling in the negative direction and passing through equilibrium at t = 0, then o = pi/2. In the response box, describe the initial condition of our experiment; specifically, describe the position of the weight and the direction in which it was traveling.

A man drove 13 mi directly east from his home, made a left turn at an intersection, and then traveled 5 mi north to his place of work. If a road was made directly from his home to his place of work, what would its distance be to the nearest tenth of a mile?

Answers

Answer:

13.93 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

we are being told that a drove 13 miles towards east from home.

and make a left turn due north, thus travel 5 miles.

The objective is to find the man's distance from his starting point(i.e. his home) to his place of work.

Let the horizontal base distance be x = adjacent side = 13 miles

Let the vertical distance be y = opposite side = 5 miles

Let the slant distance be z = hypotenuse side =  ??? (unknown)

Therefore, using the pythagoras theorem.

(hypotenuse)² = (opposite)² + (adjacent)²

z² = y² + x²

z² = 5² + 13²

z² = 25 + 169

z² = 194

[tex]z = \sqrt{194}[/tex]

z = 13.93 miles

Find the minimum value of
C=x+3y

Answers

Answer:

DNE

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y may be any real number, there is no minimum value for C. It can approach negative infinity.

If C is a constant, and the domain of x is all real numbers, there is no minimum for y. It can approach negative infinity.

We're not sure what you want or what restrictions may exist. The given relation does not suggest any minimum. We'd have to say it Does Not Exist

Hello there,

Use the first constraint to isolate y :

[tex]9x+2y\geq 35[/tex]

[tex]y \geq \frac{35-9x}{2}[/tex]

Now use the second one to isolate x :

[tex]x+3y\geq 14[/tex]

[tex]x\geq 14-3y[/tex]

You know that [tex]x\geq 0[/tex] and [tex]y\geq 0[/tex]

So what's the minimum value of x it's 0 ! Same for y !

So substitute x by 0 and y by 0

[tex]y\geq \frac{35}{2} =17.5[/tex]

[tex]x\geq 14[/tex]

So the minimum value of C is :

[tex]C=14+3*17.5[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{C=66.5}[/tex]

Hope it helps !

Abraham has visited 10 countries already. He has a goal of visiting at least 50 countries. He plans to achieve this goal by visiting 5 new countries per year (y) for the next several years. Which inequality and solution shows the amount of years that it will take for Abraham to meet his goal?

Answers

Given :

Abraham has visited 10 countries already. He has a goal of visiting at least 50 countries.

He plans to achieve this goal by visiting 5 new countries per year (y) for the next several years.

To Find :

Which inequality and solution shows the amount of years that it will take for Abraham to meet his goal.

Solution :

Let, after x years Abraham visited y countries.

It is mathematically given as :

[tex]10 + 5x=y[/tex]

Now, it is given that his goal is minimum of 50 countries.

So,

[tex]10+5x \ge 50\\\\5x\ge 40\\\\x \ge 8[/tex]

Therefore, minimum years required to meet his goals are 8.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Find three consecutive even integers such that their sum decreased by 34 is equal to the first integer. Find the first integer.

Answers

Answer:

The first number: 14

The second number: 16

The third number: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

Let's assume:

x=the first even number.

x+2=the second even number

x+4=the third even number

The sum of all three is: x + x + 2 + x + 4

The condition states the sum decreased by 34 equals the first number:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 - 34 = x

Moving all the variables to the left side and the numbers to the right side:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 - 34 - x = 34 - 2 - 4

Simplifying:

2x =  28

Solving:

x = 28 / 2 = 14

The first number: 14

The second number: 16

The third number: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that the line passes trough the point (0, 2), so the y-intercept is 2.

Let's calculate the slope by using rise over run. We see for every one unit down, it goes 4 units to the right. It also goes downward, so the slope is negative. So the slope is -1/4. Put it together...

y = -1/4x + 2
