Three boats are at sea Jenny one(j1) Jenny two(j2) and Jenny three (j3). The crew of j1 can see both j2 and j3 (they create a tr

iangle). The angle created at j1 is 45°. If the distance between j1 and j2 is 2.7 miles and the distance between j2 and j3 is 4.2 miles, what is the distance between j1 and j3 to the nearest tenth of a mile?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You know an angle, the side opposite the angle, and the side between them.

Use the Law of Sines.

j3 = arcsin(2.7sin(j1)/4.2) ≅ 27.0°

j2 = 180°-j1-j3 ≅ 108.0°

x = distance from j1 to j2

= 4.2sin(j2)/sin(j1)

≅ 5.7 miles

Factor 5a^2-30a+45, and 2x^5+x^4-2x-1.

Mrrafil [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

${5a}^{2} - 30a + 45$

$5( {a}^{2} - 6a + 9)$

5(a-3)(a-3)

5(a-3)^2

${2x}^{5} + {x}^{4} - 2x - 1$

X^4(2x+1) - (2x+1)

(x^4-1)(2x+1)

(x^2-1)(x^2+1)(2x+1)

(x-1)(x-1)(x^2+1)(2x+1)

4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1

Get just one variable on one side for both equations.

4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y

Use the transitive property and then solve for x.

x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

Solve for each system of equations by substitution or elimination.

Tems11 [23]

QUESTION 1

The given system of equations are:

$y=x^2+5x+1$

$y=x^2+2x+1$

We equate the two equations to get:

$x^2+5x+1 =x^2+2x+1$

$x^2 - {x}^{2} + 5x - 2x = 1 - 1$

$3x = 0$

$x = 0$

When x=0,

$y=0^2+2(0)+1 = 1$

The solution is (0,1)

QUESTION 2

The given equations are:

$y=x^2-2x - 1$

and

$y= -x^2-2x-1$

We equate both equations to get:

$x^2-2x - 1 = -x^2-2x-1$

Group similar terms,

$x^2 + {x}^{2} -2x + 2x= -1 + 1$

$2 {x}^{2} = 0$

$x = 0$

We put x=0 into any of the equations to find y.

$y= -0^2-2(0)-1 = - 1$

The solution is (0,-1).

QUESTION 3

The given equations are:

$y=x^2+2x+1$

and

$y=x^2+2x-1$

We equate both equations:

$x^2+2x+1 = x^2+2x-1$

Group similar terms:

$x^2 -x^2+2x = -1 - 1$

$0 = -2$

This is not true.

Hence the system has no solution.
