<span>Assuming east is positive x, north is positive y, break down the airplane's velocity into a vector in the x-y plane.
The plane is traveling 340 mph at a bearing of 210 degrees or (340cos(210), 340 sin(210)).
The wind is blowing from the west (to the east) at 50 mph or (50,0).
The actual ground speed would be the vector sum of those two (340 cos(210)+50, 340 sin(210)) or (-294.4+50,-170) or (-244.4,-170).
The magnitude of that velocity vector is




For direction



Since this angle is measured from the (-y) axis, we add 180 to get the actual heading.
The plane is traveling at 297.8 mph at a heading of 214.8 degrees. </span>

Which is the best first step when solving the following system of equations? x + y = 3. 4 x minus y = 7. Multiply the first equa
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Multiply the first equation by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+y=3) which gives

4x+4y=12

and

4x-y=7

Then subtract the two equations and the x variable will be eliminated.

What is the average rate of change of the function over the interval x = 0 to x = 5?
AURORKA [14]

\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} average~rate\\ of~change \end{array}\\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ f(x)= 2x^2-1\qquad \begin{cases} x_1=0\\ x_2=5 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(5)-f(0)}{5-0} \\\\\\ \cfrac{[2(5)^2-1]~~-~~[2(0)^2-1]}{5}\implies \cfrac{50-(-1)}{5}\implies \cfrac{50+1}{5}\implies \cfrac{51}{5}\implies 10\frac{1}{5}
