Answer:

123.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that One airplane is 78 miles due south of a control tower. Another airplane is 52 miles from the control tower at a heading of N 38 degrees E. To the nearest tenth of a mile, how far apart are the two airplanes?

The angle Ø = 90 + 52 = 142 degree

Or 180 - 28 = 142 degree

Using cosine formula

D^2 = 78^2 + 52^2 - 2(78)(52)Cos142

D^2 = 6084 + 2704 - 8112Cos142

D^2 = 8788 + 6392.34

D^2 = 15180.34

D = 123.2 miles

Therefore, the two planes are 123.2 miles apart.

What is the range of the function on the graph?
muminat
The range of a function is the set of y-coordinates of all the points int he graph of the function.
Look at the graph. The vertex is point (2, -3).
The graph does not go lower than that point.
The lowest y-coordinate is -3.
The graph goes up forever on both sides until infinity.
The range is all numbers greater than or equal to -3.

Neveah has created the function of f(x) = 2x+4/3 to represent the growth of her hair, where x represents the number of months si
Andre45 [30]
F(x)=2x+4/3

Replace f(x) by y:
y=2x+4/3

Solving for x:
y-4/3=2x+4/3-4/3

Subtracting the two terms on the left side of the equation:
(3y-4)/3=2x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
[(3y-4)/3]/2=2x/2
[(3y-4)/3]*(1/2)=x
[(3y-4)*1]/[(3)*(2)]=x
(3y-4)/6=x
x=(3y-4)/6

Replace "x" by "f^(-1) (x)" (inverse function) and "y" by "x":
f^(-1) (x) = (3x-4)/6   Inverse function

Then, for x=6 
f^(-1) (6) = [ 3(6)-4]/6
f^(-1) (6) = (18-4)/6
f^(-1) (6)= 14/6
f^(-1) (6) = 7/3

Her hair will have grown 6 after 7/3 = 2.33 months

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The experiment is identifying whether a student gets less than a 75% on the entrance exam.

The trial is one exam being taken.

An outcome is a student scoring 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

An experiment occurs when an intervention is made by a researcher and its effect are studied, thus the experiment here is identifying whether a student gets less than a 75% on the entrance exam.

The trial is the one exam being taken.

While an outcome is the aftermath of the experiment which includes a student scoring 80%.
