Let the position of the airport be A, the point 160 miles north be B, and the point 85 miles east of that (i.e. the location of the plane) be C. Then ABC forms a right-angled triangle. 

<span>tan BAC = 85/160 </span>

<span>BAC = arctan (85/160) </span>

<span>= arctan 0.531 (approx.) </span>

<span>= 27.98° (approx.) </span>

<span>So C is N 27.98° E from A. </span>

<span>The plane should fly S 27.98° W to get to the airport.

Simplify. x^2-3x-18/x+3
andre [41]

Answer:

1. Option C is correct

2. Option A is correct

3. Option C is correct

4. Option B is correct

5. Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x^2-3x-18/x+3

Factorize the numerator

x^2-6x+3x-18/x+3

x(x-6)+3(x-6)/x+3

(x+3)(x-6)/x+3

x-6

x-6 where x≠6

Option C is correct.

2. x-2/x^2+4x-12

Factorizing the denominator

x-2/x^2+6x-2x-12

x-2/x(x+6)-2(x+6)

x-2/(x-2)(x+6)

1/x+6

1/x+6 where x≠-6

Option A is correct.

3. 5x^3/7 x^3+x^4

5x^3/7x^3+x^4

5x^3/x^3(7+x)

5/7+x

Option C is correct

5/7+x where x≠-7

4. Simplify x/6x-x^2

x/6x-x^2

x/x(6-x)

1/6-x

Option B is correct

1/6-x where x≠6

5. 2/3a * 2/a^2

Multiplying both terms

4/3a^3

Option D is correct.

4/3a^3 where a≠0

Which of the following equations is of a parabola with a vertex at (1, -2)?
arlik [135]
The general eaquation of a parabola in terms of its vertex is:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

where the vertex point is (h, k)

therefore, an equation of a parabola with vertex (1, -2) is:

y = 5(x - 1)^2 - 2

Which answer is a reasonable estimate to the following problem? 94 · 689
tino4ka555 [31]
94x689=64,766
if you round it to the nearest ten you get 90x690=62100
62100 is closer to 60,000 than it is to 70,000.
so you would round it down to 60,000.

Can someone please help me with this?
lidiya [134]
The angle formed by two tangles results in half of the difference of the two arcs. 

That is to say 

70 = .5(Major arc - minor arc)

Think of the major arc as the larger and the minor the smaller.

So therefore the difference in the two arcs = 140 (multiplying both sides of the above equation by 2.

140 = major arc - minor arc.

Another necessary idea is that the arc of a whole circle = 360 degrees, that is to say the major arc + minor arc = 360, giving us a second equation to solve.
Assuming x is the minor arc.

140 = major arc - x 
360 = major arc + x

Use linear combination and add these equations to get

500 = 2*major arc

major arc = 250
minor arc or x = 110.

The answer is 110 degrees.
