Advanced Algebra II Notes 8.4 Using Trigonometry to Set a Course Patricia, Ashleigh and Whitney are playing with remote-controlled boats in a pool. Each boat is moving 4 ft/s in the direction indicated. All the boats start moving at the same time.
Time (s) Boat A Boat B Boat C TXYXYXy Complete the table below: Write parametric equations to model the motion of the three boats. Identify the window and range of t-values, then graph the equations.
A pilot heads a plane due west from Memphis, TN, toward Albuquerque, NM. The cities are 1000 miles apart, and the pilot sets the plane’s controls to fly at 250 mi/h. However, the wind is blowing from the north at 20 mi/h. Where does the plane end up after 4 h?
What angle and bearing to the nearest hundredth of a degree should the pilot set so that the plane actually lands in Albuquerque?
