Suppose that you wish to cross a river that is 3900 feet wide and flowing at a rate of 5 mph from north to south. Starting on th

e eastern bank, you wish to go directly across the river to a point on the western bank opposite your current position. You have a boat that travels at a constant rate of 11 mph.
a) In what direction, measured clockwise from north, should you aim your boat? Include appropriate units in your answer.

b) How long will it take you to make the trip? Include appropriate units in your answer.\

Please show your work so I may understand. Thank you so much!

Answer:

  a) 297°

  b) 4.52 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Consider the attached figure. The boat's actual path will be the sum of its heading vector BA and that of the current, vector AC. The angle of BA north of west has a sine equal to 5/11. That is, the heading direction measured clockwise from north is ...

  270° + arcsin(5/11) = 297°

__

b) The "speed made good" is the boat's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle between the boat's heading and the boat's actual path. That same value can be computed as the remaining leg of the right triangle with hypotenuse 11 and leg 5.

  boat speed = √(11² -5²) = √96 ≈ 9.7980 . . . . miles per hour

Then the travel time will be ...

  time = distance/speed

  (3900 ft)×(1 mi)/(5280 ft)×(60 min)/(1 h)/(9.7980 mi/h) ≈ 4.523 min

The time it takes to deliver a pizza (from time of phone call to delivery at door) follows a normal distribution with a mean (µ)
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

99.87% of the store’s total delivery orders will be delivered to consumers with charge

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 45, \sigma = 5

If a pizza store’s policy is, "Orders delivered within one hour or they’re free!", what percentage of the store’s total delivery orders will be delivered to consumers with charge?

Within one hour, which is 60 minutes. So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{60 - 45}{5}

Z = 3

Z = 3 has a pvalue of 0.9987

99.87% of the store’s total delivery orders will be delivered to consumers with charge

Rock can read 10 books in 30 minutes.how long does it take rock to read 15 books,if the speed is consistant.
vazorg [7]
10book=30mins
divide 10
1book=3mins

time=(time to read 1 book) times (number of books)
time to read 1 book=3 mins
15 books
15 books=15 times 3mins
15books=45mins

45 mins

Hank and Lynn are both paying off car loans. • Hank paid $2,000 up front when he bought his car, and he pays $200 each month. •
8090 [49]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Hank</h3>

Hank paid $2,000 upfront when he bought his car, and he pays $200 each month.

<u> This relation is:  </u>

  • H(x) = 2000 + 200x

This is proportional but not directly proportional.

<h3>Lynn</h3>

Lynn did not pay any money upfront when she bought her car, and she pays $275 each month.

<u>  This relation is:  </u>

  • L(x) = 275x

This is directly proportional.

<u>So the answer is:</u>

Yes, the relationship between the number of months and the total amount paid is proportional for both Hank's and Lynn's loans.
