A pilot flies on a bearing of 160° for 30 miles. The pilot then executes a quick turn and flies another 15 miles at a bearing of

vivado [14]

Answer: 34.65 miles at an angle of 325.39°

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, the initial position is (0,0)

Then she flies 30 miles at an angle of 160°, if we count the angle counterclokwise from the x-axis, the new position will be:

p = (30*cos(120°), 30*sin(120°))

Then she travels another 15 miles at an angle of 205°, the new position is:

p = (30*cos(120°) + 15*cos(205°), 30*sin(120°) + 15*sin(205°))

p = (-28.59 , 19.64)

If she now travles X miles at an angle Y, we must have that the final position is the point (0,0)

this means that:

X*cos(Y) = -(-28.59) = 28.59

X*sin(Y) = -19.64

Now, we can find the quotient between those two equations and use that tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

X*(sin(Y))/(X*cos(Y)) = -19.64/28.59

Tg(Y) = -0.69

Y = ATg(-0.69) = -34.61°

If we use only positive angles, this angle is equivalent to:

360° - 34.61° = 325.39°

now lets find the distance:

Xcos(325.39°) = 28.59

X = 28.59/cos(325.39°) = 34.65 miles.

M- Determine whether or not the procedure described below results in a binomial distribution. If it is not binomial, identify a

Igoryamba

Answer:

A. Yes, the result is a binomial probability distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The experiment above depicts a binomial probability distribution because the 4 required conditions are met :

1.) The distribution is independent as the possible outcome of each trial is the same.

2.) There are two possible categories and the result of each trial is one of two outcomes : Yes or No

3.) The number of observation is fixed at sample size of 5500

4.) The probability of success and failure of each trial is the same for all trials in the sample.

Hence, we can conclude that the experiment depicts a binomial probability distribution.

The point below will be reflected over the line y = x and then translated two units left and one unit up.5421-5-4-3-2-10234-1-2-

charle [14.2K]

A reflection over the line y=x implies exchanging the x and y coordinates of a point. For example if you take a generic point (a,b) then its reflection over y=x is (b,a). Our point is (-1,3) so its reflection over y=x is the point (3,-1).

Then we have to translate it two units left. Translating a point left means that we are moving towards negative x values so we need to substract 2 from the x coordinate:
