Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
  sin(α) = 3/4
and
  cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4

The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
  (440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph

xeze [42]

Answer:

infinitely \: many \: solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Cancle -60 on both sides.

5x = 2x + 3x

2) Simplify 2x + 3x to 5x.

5x = 5x

3) Since both sides are equal, there are infinitely many solutions.

infinietly \: many \: solution
