In the calm waters of an inlet, Manon's boat moves with a velocity (speed and direction) vector \vec{b_1} = (3,4) b 1 ​ ​ =(3,4)

b, start subscript, 1, end subscript, with, vector, on top, equals, (, 3, comma, 4, ). Once it enters the main river channel, however, Manon observes that it is now moving with a velocity vector \vec{b_2} = (1,1) b 2 ​ ​ =(1,1)b, start subscript, 2, end subscript, with, vector, on top, equals, (, 1, comma, 1, ).

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

b_1=(3,4)

b_2=(1,1)

We have to find the speed of river's current and the direction of current flowing.

b=b_2-b_1=(1,1)-(3,4)=(-2,-3)

Speed of river's current=\mid b\mid

Speed of river's current=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-3)^2}

Speed of river's current=\sqrt{13} m/s

By using the formula

\mid r\mid =\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Direction of current flowing,\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-3}{-2})=56.3^{\circ}

The angle lies in third quadrant therefore

\theta=180+56.3=236.3^{\circ}

ZA and ZB are supplementary angles. If m_A
KatRina [158]

Answer:

∠A = 107

∠B = 73

Step-by-step explanation:

∠A ,  ∠B are supplementary. So, ∠A + ∠B = 180

5x + 27 + 5x - 7 = 180

5x + 5x  + 27 - 7 = 180       {Combine like terms}

             10x + 20=180

                    10x = 180 -20

                   10x = 160

                      x = 160/10

x = 16

∠A = 5x + 27 = 5*16 + 27 = 80 + 27 = 107

∠B = 5x - 7 = 5*16 - 7 = 80 - 7 = 73

Lana finished the race in 13.2 seconds . If 84 other girls ran in the event, approximately how many runners did she beat?
BabaBlast [244]

Complete question :

The 100m dah times in the girl's track meet were normally distributed with a mean of 13 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.3 seconds.

Lana finished the race in 13.2 seconds . If 84 other girls ran in the event, approximately how many runners did she beat?

Answer:

21 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean, μ = 13 seconds

Standard deviation, σ = 0.3

Lana's race time = 13.2

We find the proportion of runners who had race time above 13.2 ;

Proportion of who had race tune above 13.2

P(x > 13.2)

Obtain the Zscore

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

Z = (13.2 - 13) / 0.3

Zscore = 0.2 / 0.3 = 0.6667

P(Z > 0.6667) = 0.25239 (Z probability calculator)

This is about 0.25239 * 100 = 25.24% = 25% (nearest percent)

Hence, Number of runners Lana beat = 25% of total runners ;

0.25 * 84 = 21

Hence, Lana beat about 21 runners

Explain how to determine the x- and y- intercepts of a line from a given equation in y = mx + b form.
NISA [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept:  Set y = 0 and solve for x:

 0 = mx + b, or mx = -b, or x = -b/m.  x-intercept is then (-b/m, 0)

y-intercept:  Set x = 0 and solve for y:  y = m(0) + b, or y = b.  y-intercept is then

 (0, b).

What is the sum of the first 70 consecutive odd numbers? Explain.
expeople1 [14]

The sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared! So, the short answer is that the sum of the first 70 odd numbers is 70 squared, i.e. 4900.

Allow me to prove the result: odd numbers come in the form 2n-1, because 2n is always even, and the number immediately before an even number is always odd.

So, if we sum the first N odd numbers, we have

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N 2i-1 = 2\sum_{i=1}^N i - \sum_{i=1}^N 1

The first sum is the sum of all integers from 1 to N, which is N(N+1)/2. We want twice this sum, so we have

\displaystyle 2\sum_{i=1}^N i = 2\cdot\dfrac{N(N+1)}{2}=N(N+1)

The second sum is simply the sum of N ones:

\underbrace{1+1+1\ldots+1}_{N\text{ times}}=N

So, the final result is

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N 2i-1 = 2\sum_{i=1}^N i - \sum_{i=1}^N 1 = N(N+1)-N = N^2+N-N = N^2

which ends the proof.
