Ship A and Ship B are 120 km apart when they pick up a distress call from another boat. Ship B estimates that they are 70 km away from the distress call. They also notice that the angle between the line from ship B to ship A and the line from ship A to the distress call is 28°. What are the two possible distances, to the nearest TENTH of a km, from ship A to the boat?

147.5 km and 64.4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

a=120  km

b=70  km

β=28 degrees ( ∘)

b^2=(a^2)+(c^2)−2ac*cosβ  

70^2 =(120^2 )+(c^2)−2⋅ 120⋅ c⋅ cos(28∘ )  

 (c^2 ) −211.907c+9500=0  

note p, q, and r are replacement variables in the Pythagorean theorem since a, b, and c are already in use

p=1;q=−211.907;r=9500  

D=(q^2 ) −4pr=(211.907^2 )−4⋅1⋅9500=6904.75561996  

D>0  

 =   (−q±     )/2p=(211.91±)/2

 =105.95371114±41.5474295834  

(−147.501140726)(−64.4062815596)=0

=147.501140726  

=64.4062815596  

answer: 2 answers

step-by-step explanation: the first one means to spread the product throughout the marketplace such that a large number of people can buy it.  

the second means the process of making a product or service available for the consumer or business user that needs it.

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
