an airplane tries to fly due north at 100 m/s but a wind is blowing from the west at 30 m/s. what heading (angle and direction) should the plane take to go due north in spite of the wind?

Answers

Answer 1
Final answer:

The airplane must head approximately 16.7° east of due north to compensate for the westward wind blowing at 30 m/s while attempting to fly due north at 100 m/s.

Explanation:

To determine the heading (angle and direction) that the airplane should take to compensate for the wind and fly due north, we need to consider the velocity of the plane relative to the air and the velocity of the wind. The plane wants to fly due north at 100 m/s, but the wind is blowing from the west at 30 m/s. This problem involves vector addition and can be solved graphically or using trigonometry.

Graphically, we would draw a vector to represent the plane's intended velocity due north (100 m/s) and then a vector to represent the wind's velocity (30 m/s) to the east of the northward vector. The result is a right-angled triangle where the plane's velocity is the hypotenuse, and the wind's velocity is one of the sides. Using trigonometry, we can calculate the required heading of the plane.

To find the angle (θ) between the plane's heading and the due north direction, we can use the tangent function:

θ = arctan(opposite/adjacent) = arctan(30/100) = arctan(0.3)

Calculator error is often in degrees or radians, so ensure which mode you are using. Assuming we need the angle in degrees, we find that:

θ ≈ 16.7°

Thus, the airplane must head 16.7° east of due north to compensate for the wind and fly due north.

can someone explain how to find two positive numbers such that their product is 192 and the sum of the first plus three times the second is a minimum?

Answers

Let the two numbers be y and x, then
xy = 192
y = 192/x
dy/dx = -192/x^-2 . . . (1)

Sum (S) = y + 3x
If the sum is minimum, then
dS/dx = dy/dx + 3 = 0
dy/dx = -3

From (1), -192/x^2 = -3
3x^2 = 192
x^2 = 192/3 = 64
x = sqrt(64) = 8
y = 192/8 = 24

The two positive numbers are 8 and 24.

Find the equation of a circle in standard form where C(6, -2) and D(-4, 4) are endpoints of a diameter. ...?

Answers

The equation of a circle is in the form:
x² + y² = r²; where r is the radius.
We find the diameter using the distance formula:
D = √[(-4 - 6)² + (4 + 2)²]
D = 2√(34)
r = D/2 = √(34)

x² + y² = [√(34)]²

Firstly , let us learn about trigonometry in mathematics.

Suppose the ΔABC is a right triangle and ∠A is 90°.

sin ∠A = opposite / hypotenusecos ∠A = adjacent / hypotenusetan ∠A = opposite / adjacent

There are several trigonometric identities that need to be recalled, i.e.

[tex]cosec ~ A = \frac{1}{sin ~ A}[/tex]

[tex]sec ~ A = \frac{1}{cos ~ A}[/tex]

[tex]cot ~ A = \frac{1}{tan ~ A}[/tex]

[tex]tan ~ A = \frac{sin ~ A}{cos ~ A}[/tex]

Let us now tackle the problem!

Look at ΔADE in the attachment.

We will use the following formula to find relationship between variable t and h:

tan ∠A = opposite / adjacent

[tex]\tan \angle A = \frac{DE}{AD}[/tex]

[tex]\large {\boxed{ \tan \angle A = \frac{h}{t} } }[/tex] → Equation 1

Look at ΔABC in the attachment.

We will use the following formula to find relationship between variable r , t and x:

Tommy has a pet monkey. Every day, his monkey eats 4 apples in the morning. The monkey also eats two bananas for every banana that Tommy eats.

Write an equation to describe this situation where x is the number of bananas Tommy eats and y is the total number of pieces of fruit the monkey eats.

Answers

Monkey to Tommy = 2:1
x = (y-4)/2
y = 2x + 4

For x, we must first work out the amount of bananas the monkey eats by subtracting the total amount of fruit by the amount of apples, giving us the amount of bananas - them dividing that number by 2 as the ratio is 2:1.

For y, we double x which is our amount of bananas that tommy eats as the ratio is 2:1 them add on the amount of apples which is 4.

For spring break this year your family decided to visit Michigan, but it snows the first weekend you are there. You decide to make a snowman. If the bottom ball is 3 feet across, the middle ball is 2 feet across, and the top is 1 foot across, how much snow is needed to build the whole snowman? Round your answer to the nearest cubic foot.
A)
19 cubic feet of snow
B)
31 cubic feet of snow
C)
511 cubic feet of snow
D)
1022 cubic feet of snow ...?

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Final answer:

To find the amount of snow needed to build the snowman, we need to calculate the volume of each ball and then add them together. The total volume is 18.84 cubic feet, rounded to 19 cubic feet.So,Option A.19 cubic feet of snow is correct.

Explanation:

To find how much snow is needed to build the whole snowman, we need to calculate the volume of each ball and then add them together. The volume of a sphere can be found using the formula V = (4/3) * pi * r³, where r is the radius of the sphere.

The bottom ball has a diameter of 3 feet, so the radius is 3/2 = 1.5 feet. The volume of the bottom ball is (4/3) * 3.14 * (1.5³) = 14.13 cubic feet.

The middle ball has a diameter of 2 feet, so the radius is 2/2 = 1 foot. The volume of the middle ball is (4/3) * 3.14 * (1³) = 4.19 cubic feet.

The top ball has a diameter of 1 foot, so the radius is 1/2 = 0.5 feet. The volume of the top ball is (4/3) * 3.14 * (0.5³) = 0.52 cubic feet.

The total volume of the snowman is 14.13 + 4.19 + 0.52 = 18.84 cubic feet. Therefore, the answer is 19 cubic feet of snow.

x= 32.08

approximately 32.1

Answer:

(A) 32.1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that in ΔDEF, DE=17 and m∠F=32, thus

Using the trigonometry, we have

[tex]sinx=\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}=\frac{DE}{DF}[/tex]

⇒[tex]sin32^{\circ}=\frac{17}{DF}[/tex]

⇒[tex]DF=\frac{17}{sin32^{\circ}}[/tex]

Solve the problem. Susan purchased some municipal bonds yielding 7% annually and some certificates of deposit yielding 9% annually. If Susan's investment amounts to $19,000 and the annual income is $1590, how much money is invested in bonds and how much is invested in certificates of deposit? a. $13,500 in bonds; $5500 in certificates of deposit b. $5500 in bonds; $13,500 in certificates of deposit c. $13,000 in bonds; $6000 in certificates of deposit d. $6000 in bonds; $13,000 in certificates of deposit
...?

Answers

Final answer:

Susan invested $6,000 in municipal bonds and $13,000 in certificates of deposit. For the bond investment scenario, given the increase in market interest rate to 9%, you would pay less than $10,000 for the bond. The calculation shows you would be willing to pay approximately $9,724.77.

Explanation:

To solve Susan's investment problem, we can set up a system of equations using the information provided in the problem. Let x be the amount invested in municipal bonds and y be the amount invested in certificates of deposit (CDs). We can then set up the following equations:

x + y = $19,000 (Total investment amount)

0.07x + 0.09y = $1,590 (Total annual income from investments)

Now, we solve the system of equations. Multiplying the second equation by 100 to get rid of decimals:

7x + 9y = 159,000

Next, we can multiply the first equation by 7 to help us eliminate one variable:

7x + 7y = 133,000

Subtracting the modified first equation from the second equation:

9y - 7y = 159,000 - 133,000

2y = 26,000

y = $13,000

Using y = $13,000 in the first equation:

x + 13,000 = 19,000

x = $6,000

Therefore, Susan invested $6,000 in municipal bonds and $13,000 in certificates of deposit.

Regarding the bond investment scenario:

a. Since the market interest rate has risen to 9%, higher than the bond's 6% interest rate, you would expect to pay less than $10,000 for the bond.

b. To calculate the price you would be willing to pay, you need to find the present value of the expected payment from the bond one year from now:

The expected payment is $10,000 (the face value) plus $600 (the final interest payment), which totals $10,600.

Using the market interest rate of 9%, the present value (PV) formula is:

PV = Payment / (1 + market interest rate)

PV = $10,600 / (1 + 0.09)

PV = $10,600 / 1.09

PV ≈ $9,724.77

Therefore, you would be willing to pay approximately $9,724.77 for the bond.

What does x equal

Answers

First, we need to isolate the x by removing the 3 from the x.

8=3+x/-6
8-3 = 3-3+x/-6
5 = x/-6.

Then you remove the -6 from the x and since it is being divided by x we multiply it
5 x -6 = x/-6x-6
-30 = x
So x = -30 
Step 1. Move the negative sign to the left

[tex]8=3- \frac{x}{6} [/tex]

Step 2. Subtract 3 from both sides

[tex]8-3=- \frac{x}{6} [/tex]

Step 3.  Simplify 8 - 3 to 5

[tex]5=- \frac{x}{6} [/tex]

Step 4. Multiply both sides by 6

[tex]5 * 6= -x[/tex]

Step 5. Simplify 5 * 6 to 30

[tex]30=-x[/tex]

Step 6. Multiply both sides by -1

[tex]-30=x[/tex]

Step 7. Switch sides

[tex]x=-30[/tex]
