9. A small airplane is 60 miles from the airport and is going down for landing with some angle of depression. However its naviga

tion device malfunctions and incorrectly shows the distance to be 65 miles. The dispatcher noticed this mistake and figured out that if airplane continues on its current course, it will end up 16 miles from airport. By how many degrees should dispatcher adjust the airplane heading

Answer:

13.98 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the airplane be at point A, the airport at point B and the point of overshoot, point C.

If the plane is on path AC and the pilot wants to adjust to the path AB, the angle by which the pilot will adjust the airplane heading is the angle between AB and AC which is A.

Using Cosine Rule

Cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc} \\Cos A=\dfrac{65^2+60^2-16^2}{2(65)(60)} \\Cos A=0.9704\\A=arcCos (0.9704)\\\angle A=13.98^\circ

The pilot should adjust the plane's heading by 13.98 degrees.

A customer decides to build a fence around the backyard. The yard is rectangular, and with the house an equal distance from both
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

D). 290 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the yard = 65 feet

Width of the yard = 80feet

The Perimeter of the yard = 2(l + b)

                                           = 2 * (65 + 80)

                                            = 2 * 145

                                             = 290 feet

∵ Fencing required = 290 feet

Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

work out the equation of the line which passes through the point(-1,2)and is parallel to the line y=x+4
erma4kov [3.2K]
If you have graph paper (or regular paper, graph is easier) you can plot it out. The equation would be y=x-1
just graph the point and then go up one over one until you get cross the y-axis

8 Line in the xy-plane contains points from each of Quadrants II, III, and IV, but no points from Quadrant I. Which of the follo
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the change in y with respect to x.

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

If the slope of a line is undefined it means it is a vertical line and a vertical line  can not passes through three quadrants. So, option A is incorrect.

If the slope of a line is 0 it means it is a horizontal line and a horizontal line  can not passes through three quadrants. So, option B is incorrect.

If the slope of a line is positive it means the value of y increases as x increases.

Since it is an increasing line, therefore after a certain period both x and y will positive. It means the line will passes through first quadrant. So, option C is incorrect.

If the slope of a line is negative it means the value of y decreases as x increases. It can passes through each of Quadrants II, III, and IV.

Therefore the correct option is D.
