Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainy.

The path of the watercraft and the water current, when joined by a line forming a right angle would make a right triangle. From here, we can know the component in which it is along the same direction with the watercraft. Let's denote this as x.

x = 6 miles/h * cos 75 degrees
x = 1.55 miles/h

Thus, the actual speed = 70 + 1.55 = 71.55 miles/h

Answer:

Actual speed = 73.18 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let positive x axis represent east and positive y axis represent north.

Robin rides a personal watercraft 75° west of south at 70 miles/hour.

Velocity of personal watercraft = 70 miles/hour at 75° west of south

                                                    = 70 miles/hour at 15° south of west

                                                    =  -70 cos 15 i + -70 sin 15 j

                                                    = -67.61 i - 18.12 j

The water current is moving 6 miles/hour at an angle of 75° south of west.

Velocity of  water current = 6 miles/hour at 75° south of west

                                           = 6 miles/hour at 75° south of west

                                           =  -6 cos 75 i + -6 sin 75 j

                                           = -1.55 i - 5.80 j

Total velocity = -67.61 i - 18.12 j -1.55 i - 5.80 j = -69.16 i - 23.92 j

\texttt{Actual speed =}\sqrt{(-69.16)^2+(-23.92)^2}=73.18m/s

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth tan x =5
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

x ≈ 78.7° (in degree)

x ≈ 1.4      (in radians)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question an equation

tan(x) = 5

       x =  tan^{1}(5)

       x = 78.69

       x ≈ 78.7°

In radian:

x ≈ 1.4

Arrange these functions from the greatest to the least value based on the average rate of change in the specified interval.
Romashka [77]
By definition, the average change of rate is given by:
 AVR =  \frac{f(x2)-f(x1)}{x2-x1}
 We will calculate AVR for each of the functions.
 We have then:

 f(x) = x^2 + 3x interval: [-2, 3]:
 f(-2) = x^2 + 3x  = (-2)^2 + 3(-2) = 4 - 6 = -2

f(3) = x^2 + 3x = (3)^2 + 3(3) = 9 + 9 = 18
 AVR = \frac{-2-18}{-2-3}
 AVR = \frac{-20}{-5}
 AVR = 4

 f(x) = 3x - 8 interval: [4, 5]:
 f(4) = 3(4) - 8 = 12 - 8 = 4 f(5) = 3(5) - 8 = 15 - 8 = 7
 AVR = \frac{7-4}{5-4}
 AVR = \frac{3}{1}
 AVR = 3

 f(x) = x^2 - 2x interval: [-3, 4]
 f(-3) = (-3)^2 - 2(-3) = 9 + 6 = 15

f(4) = (4)^2 - 2(4) = 16 - 8 = 8
 AVR = \frac{8-15}{4+3}
 AVR = \frac{-7}{7}
 AVR = -1

 f(x) = x^2 - 5 interval: [-1, 1]
 f(-1) = (-1)^2 - 5 = 1 - 5 = -4

f(1) = (1)^2 - 5 = 1 - 5 = -4
 AVR = \frac{-4+4}{1+1}
 AVR = \frac{0}{2}
 AVR = 0


 Answer:
 
these functions from the greatest to the least value based on the average rate of change are:
 f(x) = x^2 + 3x
 
f(x) = 3x - 8
 
f(x) = x^2 - 5
 
f(x) = x^2 - 2x

Casey buys a bracelet. She pays for the bracelet and pays \$0.72$0.72 in sales tax. The sales tax rate is 6\%6%. What is the ori
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

$12.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If they paid $0.72 in tax and tax is 6% or .06 then you could create an equation like this: x * .06 = .72 with x representing the original cost of the bracelet. Now you can just solve for x like so:

x * .06 = .72

÷.06       ÷.06

x = 12
