Answer: Santa's speed in still air is 6 miles per minute

Speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Santa in still air. It is assumed that in still air. She is flying with the wind. If the speed of the wind is y, then him total speed is x + y

It takes Santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind.

Speed = distance / time

It means that

x + y = 35/5 = 7

It takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed will be x - y

Speed = distance/time. Therefore,

x - y = 35 /5 = 5 - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7 - y - y = 5

-2y = 5 - 7 = -2

y = -2/-2 = 1

x = 7 - y = 7 - 1

x = 6

Estimate the area under the graph of f(x) = 2 cos(x) from x = 0 to x = π/2 using four approximating rectangles and right and lef
I am Lyosha [343]
So hmm notice the picture below

you're simply being asked to, approximate the area, by using 4 rectangles, like in the graph, it doesn't have to be an exact value, just an approximation, based on the width and height of the rectangles, and getting  their area by that

those rectangles are 0.39 radian long, since if you split π/2 in 4 pieces, you get around that much, the last rectangle there is a bit smaller than 0.39.... but they don't have to be 4 rectangles of equal length

so, get the area of the rectangles, based on their width and height, and sum them up

Answer:

m\angle N = 32\degree

m\widehat {NQ}=106\degree

Step-by-step explanation:

By inscribed angle theorem:

m\angle N = \frac{1}{2} \times m\widehat {MP}

m\angle N = \frac{1}{2} \times 64\degree

m\angle N = 32\degree

Again by inscribed angle theorem:

m\angle P= \frac{1}{2} \times m\widehat {NQ}

53\degree = \frac{1}{2} \times m\widehat {NQ}

2\times 53\degree = m\widehat {NQ}

m\widehat {NQ}=106\degree
