Answer:

.6601

Step-by-step explanation:

to find u, which we assume is an angle of course, we can take arctan of both sides. so arctan(-7.721) = -1.4420. this angle is in quadrant 4, but it is not in the range. In this instance you just go around the circle again, or add 2pi, which gets us 4.8412. You can check and you get the same answer if you take the tangent of either.

So now we have a number in the appropriate range in the appropriate quadrant. That means we have the correct angle. The question asks what is sine of that angle cut in half. so sin(4.8412/2), which gets you your answer. let em know if something didn't make sense.

Hi! I have a math question. This is a two part problem.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Blair chosen to purchase shirt from company B. Given:

Each shirt costs 3.10$

Shipping cost is 4% (0.04) of total order.

=>Total cost without shipping: 150 x 3.10 = 465$

=> Total cost with 4% of shipping: 465 + 465 x 0.04 = 483.6$

=> Total cost Blair paid for one shirt: C = 483.6/150 = 3.22$

The markup is 75% of original cost:

=> Blair can multiply the total cost for one shirt by 0.75

Blair will sell shirt with price which is equal to the sum of total cost for one shirt and markup:

=> P = 3.22 + 3.22 x 0.75 = 5.64$

Hope this helps!

Two planes just took off from St. Louis, MO. The first plane is traveling 3.5 times as fast as the second plane. After Traveling

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Speed of first plane is 350 miles per hour

Speed of second plane is 100 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the second plane be X

Then the speed of the first plane will be 3.5 X

Distance travelled by first plane is 9.5 *X

Distance travelled by second plane is 9.5 * 3.5 X

Difference of distance between the two plane is

$9.5 * 3.5 X - 9.5 *X = 2375\\23.75 X = 2375\\X = 100$ miles per hour

Speed of first plane is 3.5 *100 = 350 miles per hour

Speed of second plane is 100 miles per hour
