Answer:

rate of the wind: 40 mph

The expression that represents the time it takes the plane to travel the 640 miles with the wind is:  640/(120 + w )

Step-by-step explanation:

The plane fly at 120 mph. Let's call w, the rate of the wind.

Against the wind the speed of plane will be = 120 - w

With the wind the speed of plane will be = 120 + w

Speed is defined as: speed = distance/time

Time required to travel 320 miles against the wind:

time =  320/(120 - w )

Time required to travel 640 miles with the wind:

time =  640/(120 + w )

Both times are equal, then:

320/(120 - w ) = 640/(120 + w )

(320/640)*(120 + w ) = 120 - w

60 + 0.5*w = 120 - w

1.5*w = 60

w = 60/1.5 = 40 mph

The cosine of an angle is the x-coordinate of the point where its terminal ray intersects the unit circle. So, we can draw a line at x=-1/2 and see where it intersects the unit circle. That will tell us possible values of θ/2.

We find that vertical line intersects the unit circle at points where the rays make an angle of ±120° with the positive x-axis. If you consider only positive angles, these angles are 120° = 2π/3 radians, or 240° = 4π/3 radians. Since these are values of θ/2, the corresponding values of θ are double these values.

a) The cosine values repeat every 2π, so the general form of the smallest angle will be

... θ = 2(2π/3 + 2kπ) = 4π/3 + 4kπ

b) Similarly, the values repeat for the larger angle every 2π, so the general form of that is

... θ = 2(4π/3 + 2kπ) = 8π/3 + 4kπ

c) Using these expressions with k=0, 1, 2, we get

... θ = {4π/3, 8π/3, 16π/3, 20π/3, 28π/3, 32π/3}
