Answer:
The drift angle is approximately 7.65° towards the East from the plane's heading
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed of the plane = 350 mph
The direction in which the plane flies N 40° E = 50° counterclockwise from the eastern direction
The speed of the wind = 40 mph
The direction of the wind = S 70° E = 20° clockwise from the eastern direction
The component velocities of the plane are;
= (350 × cos 50)·i + (350 × sin 50)·j
= (40 + cos 20)·i - (40 × sin 40)·j
The resultant speed of the plane = +
= 265.915·i +242.404·j
The direction the plane is heading = tan⁻¹(242.404/265.915) ≈ 42.35°
Therefore, the drift angle = Actual Angle - Direction of the plane = 50 - 42.35 ≈ 7.65° towards the East

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Function</u>
The exponential function can be written with the general equation:
Where A is the value when x=0 and r>0 is the ratio. If r is greater than 1, the function is increasing, if r is less than 1, the function is decreasing.
The table shows the relation between values of x and values of the function y. Note that as x increases (one by one), y decreases with a ratio of 1/2. Only the last two choices have ratios of r=1/2. We only have to test which one of them has the correct value of y=4 when x=0.
Substituting in the third function:
This gives the correct value of f(0)=4.
Substituting in the fourth function:
This choice is wrong
Correct choice:
So, the area of a parallelogram is the base times the height or
a being area
b being base
h being height
the height is 8 cm and the base is 15 cm
(remember: the heght should be perpendicular to the base)
so we plug in 8 for h and 15 for b to get
and 15 × 8 = (10 × 8) + (5 × 8) = 80 + 40 =120
So the answer is 120
