Answer:

299.99 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the plane traveled due west,

The total angle is 49.17 + 90

Represent that with θ

θ = 49.17 + 90

θ = 139.17.

Represent the sides as

A = 170

B = 150

C = unknown

Since, θ is opposite side C, side C can be calculated using cosine formula as;

C² = A² + B² - 2ABCosθ

Substitute values for A, B and θ

C² = 150² + 170² - 2 * 150 * 170 * Cos 139.17

C² = 22500 + 28900 - 51000 * Cos 139.17

C² = 51400 - 51000 (−0.7567)

C² = 51400 + 38,591.7

C² = 89,991.7

Take Square Root of both sides

C = 299.9861663477167

C = 299.99 miles (Approximated)

Hence, the distance between the plane and the airport is 299.99 miles

(5,12)and (2,6) rate of change?<br> Initial value?<br> HURRY i NEED this done.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Part 1) The rate of change is 2

Part 2) The initial value is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or rate of change

b is the y-intercept or initial value

step 1

Find the slope or rate of change

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have the points

(5,12)and (2,6)

substitute the values in the formula

m=\frac{6-12}{2-5}

m=\frac{-6}{-3}

m=2

therefore

The rate of change is 2

step 2

Find the initial value

we have

m=2

point\ (2,6)

substitute in the equation y=mx+b

6=2(2)+b

solve for b

6=4+b

b=2 ---> initial value

The linear equation is equal to

y=2x+2

The y-intercept or initial value is 2

Determine if each table shown below represents a function or not ?
yarga [219]
Neither of them are functions. Functions cannot have two of the same numbers in the x value, and since the first table has two 5s in the x column and the second table has two 7s, neither of them can be functions.

Hope this helps :)

Which value is the solution to the equation 20=y+12 ? ( use substitution to find solutions to equations.)
amm1812

Answer:

8 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find a solution to an algebraic equation such as this one we simply need to isolate the variable. We do this by applying the opposite operation to each side in order to get rid of the other factors and get the variable alone. Like so...

20 = y + 12   ... we need to subtract 12 from both sides to get rid of the 12 on the right side with the variable y.

20 - 12 = y + 12 - 12

8 = y

Finally, we can see that the value of the variable y is 8

If tan 0 = 5/12, what is sin 0?
marusya05 [52]
Sin is 5/13

We know tan = 5/12 the 5 is opposite 12 adjacent
Sin is opposite/hypotenuse. We know 5 is the opposite to find hypotenuse do pythogrean 5^2+12^2= 169 the sq rt of 169 is 13
