Question

1. The Black Pearl is following a course that is represented by the equation x + y = 10. The interception course of the Flying Dutchman is represented by the equation $\frac{5}{2}x - y = 4$ a. Use the graphing method to determine the coordinate point that the two ships' paths meet. NOTE - To graph your lines you can graph using a table of values, or by solving for y. Regardless, show your work, and make sure your points are clearly labeled, with the intersection point clearly identified (if possible). b. Solve the same system of equations using either the substitution or elimination method. Show your work. c. You should get the same solution in parts (a) and (b). Why?

11) (b) The graphs below show the position versus time for six sailboats traversing a long narrow channel that runs east to west. The scales on both axes are the same for all six graphs with East on the upper part of the vertical axis. In each graph two points are marked with dots. Rank these situations on the distance traveled between the two points. Greatest 1 2 3 4 5 6 Least OR, The distance between the points indicated is the same for ALL SIX boats OR, The distance between the points indicated is zero for ALL SIX boats. OR, We cannot determine the ranking for the distance traveled by these boats. Explain your reasoning.

Solve. Marine navigation. The loran (long-range navigation) system is used by boaters to determine their location at sea. The loran unit on a boat measures the difference in time that it takes for radio signals from pairs of fixed points to (graph can't copy) reach the boat. The unit then finds the equations of two hyperbolas that pass through the location of the boat. Suppose a boat is located in the first quadrant at the intersection of $x^{2}-3 y^{2}=1$ and $4 y^{2}-x^{2}=1$ a) Use the accompanying graph to approximate the location of the boat. b) Algebraically find the exact location of the boat.

A system for tracking ships indicates that a ship lies on a path described by $2 y^{2}-x^{2}=1 .$ The process is repeated and the ship is found to lie on a path described by $2 x^{2}-y^{2}=1 .$ If it is known that the ship is located in the first quadrant of the coordinate system, determine its exact location.

00:01 Hello, here we have to rank the distance traveled from the greatest to the list.
00:11 And let's first calculate the distance traveled in each case.
00:16 Let's start with da.
00:18 Here the distance equals to the following.
00:20 We have to take, basically here, have to look at the slope and the distance traveled equals to time axis divided by, by cosine of the slope.
01:00 So therefore, ga equals to 1 divided by cosine of the slope.
01:09 That is cosine of and cosine of the slope here is 4 over square root of 4 squared plus 2 squared.
01:44 Let's calculate it.
02:00 That is 1 .12.
02:03 So that's the 8...
