1. Bearings:
A boat leaves port A and sails 30 km on a bearing of 045°. It then changes course and sails 40 km on a bearing of 120°.
a) Calculate the coordinates of the boat's final position relative to port A.
b) Find the bearing from port A to the boat's final position.
2. Quadratic Equation:
The height (h) in meters of an object thrown upwards is given by the equation h(t) = -5t2 + 20t + 10, where t is the time in seconds.
a) Find the time when the object reaches its maximum height.
b) Calculate the maximum height of the object.
3. Indices:
Simplify the expression (a3 · a-5) / a-2.
4. Logarithm:
If log2(x) + log2(3) = 5, solve for x.
