First, let's calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the wind speed (W) and the airplane speed (A), knowing that south is a bearing of 270° and northeast is a bearing of 45°:

\begin{gathered} W_x=W\cos45°\\ \\ W_x=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_x=35.35\\ \\ \\ \\ W_y=W\sin45°\\ \\ W_y=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_y=35.35 \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} A_x=A\cos270°\\ \\ A_x=540\cdot0\\ \\ A_x=0\\ \\ \\ \\ A_y=A\sin270°\\ \\ A_y=540\cdot(-1)\\ \\ A_y=-540 \end{gathered}

Now, let's add the components of the same direction:

\begin{gathered} V_x=W_x+A_x=35.35+0=35.35\\ \\ V_y=W_y+A_y=35.35-540=-504.65 \end{gathered}

To find the resultant bearing (theta), we can use the formula below:

\begin{gathered} \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{V_y}{V_x})\\ \\ \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-504.65}{35.35})\\ \\ \theta=-86° \end{gathered}

The angle -86° is equivalent to -86 + 360 = 274°.

Therefore the correct option is b.

If angle X has a measure of 40 degrees and angle Y is vertical to angle X what is the measure of angle Y?
erica [24]
If an angle is 70 degrees and there is an angle vertical to it, then that other angle also equals 70 degrees. Therefore, if angle X equals 40 degrees, then angle Y also equals 40 degrees. Hope this helps.

Solve: 3a - 2.4 = 5.1 a = _____
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

a=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3a-2.4=5.1   Add the like terms ( plus 2.4 cancels out -2.4)

   +2.4  +2.4

3a=7.5  Now divide by 3

/3     /3

a=2.5

f(x)=2x^2-4x+1

Substitute the values of x to the equation of the function f:

x=-1\to f(-1)=2(-1)^2-4(-1)+1=2(1)+4+1=7\\\\x=2\to f(2)=2(2^2)-4(2)+1=2(4)-8+1=1

Therefore we have two points (-1, 7) and (2, 1).

We can calculate the slope of line l.

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{1-7}{2-(-1)}=\dfrac{-6}{3}=-2

<h3>Answer: A) -2.</h3>
