Let <em>s</em> be the plane's speed in still air and <em>w</em> the wind speed. Then

<em>s</em> - <em>w</em> = (6060 km)/(6 h) = 1010 km/h

<em>s</em> + <em>w</em> = (12,150 km)/(9 h) = 1350 km/h

Adding these equations together eliminates <em>w</em> and lets you solve for <em>s</em> :

(<em>s</em> - <em>w</em>) + (<em>s</em> + <em>w</em>) = 1010 km/h + 1350 km/h

2<em>s</em> = 2360 km/h

<em>s</em> = 1180 km/h

Using the unit circle, determine the value of cos(-150°).
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
<h3>Answer:  -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}</h3>

Explanation:

The identity we'll use is cos(-x) = cos(x) for any value of x.

So cos(-150) = cos(150).

Then locate the angle 150 on the unit circle. The terminal point is \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)

The x coordinate of this terminal point is the value of cos(150).

Explain why 2+x and x+3 are equivalent
wlad13 [49]

Check whether the two expressions 2x+3y2x+3y and 2y+3x2y+3x equivalent.

The first expression is the sum of 2x2x 's and 3y3y 's whereas the second one is the sum of 3x3x 's and 2y2y 's.

Let us evaluate the expressions for some values of xx and yy . Take x=0x=0 and y=1y=1 .

2(0)+3(1)=0+3=32(1)+3(0)=2+0=22(0)+3(1)=0+3=32(1)+3(0)=2+0=2

So, there is at least one pair of values of the variables for which the two expressions are not the same.

Monique drew a square and inscribed circle on a sheet of paper, as shown below
Irina-Kira [14]
If you know the area of the square is 256 and the area of the circle is 200.96 you subtract 200.96 from 256 and you get 55.04 is the area of the square that is not covered by the circle. so 55.04/256  because that will give you the percent of the area that is outside that circle but inside the square and you get .215 or 21.50%
