Answer:

48.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality in this case is the speed at which Andrew travels.

We know that the speed is equal to:

v = d / t

We know the distance that is 145.5 miles and the time is 3 hours, replacing:

v = 145.5 / 3

v = 48.5 mi / h

which means that the equation would be:

y = k * x

where k, that is, the constant of proportionality is the velocity 48.5.

y = 48.5 * x

To check if for example x is worth 3, it would be:

y = 48.5 * 3

y = 145.5

For questions 3 – 5, an airplane is heading south at an airspeed of 540 km/hr, but there is a wind blowing from the northeast at
GuDViN [60]

First, let's calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the wind speed (W) and the airplane speed (A), knowing that south is a bearing of 270° and northeast is a bearing of 45°:

\begin{gathered} W_x=W\cos45°\\ \\ W_x=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_x=35.35\\ \\ \\ \\ W_y=W\sin45°\\ \\ W_y=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_y=35.35 \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} A_x=A\cos270°\\ \\ A_x=540\cdot0\\ \\ A_x=0\\ \\ \\ \\ A_y=A\sin270°\\ \\ A_y=540\cdot(-1)\\ \\ A_y=-540 \end{gathered}

Now, let's add the components of the same direction:

\begin{gathered} V_x=W_x+A_x=35.35+0=35.35\\ \\ V_y=W_y+A_y=35.35-540=-504.65 \end{gathered}

To find the resultant bearing (theta), we can use the formula below:

\begin{gathered} \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{V_y}{V_x})\\ \\ \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-504.65}{35.35})\\ \\ \theta=-86° \end{gathered}

The angle -86° is equivalent to -86 + 360 = 274°.

Therefore the correct option is b.

Please help me with this geometry question:((
Len [333]

Answer:

x = 13

Arc RQ = 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

PEQ is an inscribed angle and the measure of an inscribed angle in a circle is equal to half of the arc it sees.

The perimeter of a circle is always 360° therefore

2 × (5x + 15) + 9x + 17 + 6x - 12 = 25x + 35 = 360°

25x = 360 - 35

25x = 325

x = 13

Since arc RQ is equal to 10x + 30 we replace x with the value we just got

10×13 + 30 = 160°

Given: AB tangent at D, AD = OD = 4 Find: Area of the shaded region
MrMuchimi

Answer:

1.72

Step-by-step explanation:

AB tangent at D, AD = OD = 4

so triangle OAD is right angle with side of 4 and 4.

area of OAD = 1/2 * 4 * 4 = 8

Angle AOD = DAO = 45 deg.

so circular sector OCD area = area of circle O * 45/360

= pi * 4 * 4 * 45/360

= 2pi

Shade area ACD = trigangle OAD - circular sector OCD

= 8 - 2pi

= 1.72

The relative frequency distribution of the number of phobias reported by a hypothetical sample of 500 college students is given
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

a. 0.48

b. 0.14

c. 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

0 - 2        0.48

3 - 5        0.26

6 - 8        0.12

9- 11        0.09

12- 14       0.05

Based on the above information

a. The probability for fewer than three phobias is

= P( x < 3)

= 0.48

b.  The probability for more than eight phobias is

= P( x >8)

= 0.09 + 0.05  

= 0.14

c. Probability between 3 and 11 phobias is  

= P(3 < x < 11)

= 0.26 + 0.12  + 0.09

= 0.47

Four sizes of scaled text are shown.
Arisa [49]
Let
x--------> <span>the unknown scale size

we know that

N 1---------> 2.618
N 2---------> x
N 3---------> 1
N 4---------> 0.618

to obtain the size N 4 ----> multiply the size N 3 by 0.618
so
to obtain </span> the size N 2 ----> multiply the size N 1 by 0.618
size N 2=2.618*0.618------> 1.6179
x=1.618

the answer is
 the unknown scale size is 1.618
