Sail Boat Diagram I Need Help With Algebra 1?

I need help with algebra 1? - sail boat diagram

Boat speed: The mathematical formulas help to developers in selecting the dimensions of the length of the pipe carried the water of a ship, sail area and displacement of so quickly.

Model:) The maximum speed n (in knots or nautical miles per hour, can be modeled several types of boat ride through the quadratic equation:

s ² = 16/9x


x = length of the water of the boat (feet).

Note: The waterline of the boat is the line in the main part of the boat that reaches the surface.

Problem: Draw a diagram of a boat and the water line, then use the equation for the speed of a boat length 32foot water line put in the form of radicals (in the form most easily). Then you find the speed to the tenth.



Ok, so I need help with this problem.

Since x is the length of the water of the boat (m), and I want to know sailboad the speed) with a length of 32 meters from the waterline in the form of radicals (in its simplest form, it suffices to replace x by 32 in the formula:

s ² = 16 / 9 (32)

s ² = 16 / 288

s ² = 1 / 18

However, to the square root of both sides

s = ± √ 1 / 18

In its simplest form

s = ± 1 / 3 √ 1 / 2

Then they want to know how fast the tenth, and of course, not used, the negative value, as is the speed to be a negative number.

Therefore, we use the positive or

x = 1 / 3 √ 1 / 2

x = 235

x = 2 knots

Have a good day!
