Suppose a river flows south to north at a velocity of 1 m/s, and a motorboat traverses the river from east to west at a speed of

2.5 m/s. At what angle should the boat be oriented south, relative to the westward direction, such that the boat will be traveling due west? Round to the nearest degree.

Answer: 24^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

River is flowing from south to North with a velocity of u=1\ m/s

Motor boat traverses the river from east to west at a speed of v=2.5\ m/s

South component of boat velocity must compensate the river velocity in order to travel in west direction.

\therefore v\sin \theta=u\\\\\Rightarrow 2.5\sin \theta=1\\\\\Rightarrow \sin \theta=\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow \theta=23.57^{\circ}\approx 24^{\circ} \text{south of west}

If fixed costs are $561,000 and the unit contribution margin is $8.00, what is the break-even point in units if variable costs a
olga nikolaevna [1]
The break even point is the point where in the total cost and the total revenue of the business are of the same value which means there is no profit or no loss. It is would be the minimum point that a business to reach in order to be able to recover the costs without any loss. At this point selling cost is equal to the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost. To determine the break even point in units, we do as follows:

SC = FC + VC
Px = FC + Vx
where x is the number of units, P is the price per unit and V is the variable cost per unit.

x = FC / P - V
x = 561000 / (8.00 - 0.50)
x = 74800 units

Which pairs of angles are alternate interior angles? Select all that apply.
andrezito [222]
<h3>Answers: Choice A and Choice C</h3>

Explanation:

Think of the vertical lines as train tracks (the metal rails).

Stuff between the rails are interior angles.

Angles 3 and 6 are one pair of alternate interior angles because they are on alternating sides of the transversal line. The other pair of alternate interior angles are angles 4 and 5.

Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.

If You know how to do long division then... You move the decimal that’s outside the house to where it’s not there no more then divide . Or turn the decimals into Fractions and do the reciprocal.

Answer: C) Tracy spends $7 every 4 days

Graphing the function as well as x = 4 will show that there is a difference in the y-value of 7 between x=0 and x=4, meaning she spends $7 every 4 days.
