Answer:

79.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

We resolve the speed of the plane into horizontal and vertical components respectively as 300cos75° and 300sin75° respectively. Since the wind blows due west at a speed of 25 miles per hour, its direction is horizontal and is given by 25cos180° = -25 mph.  We now add both horizontal components to get the resultant horizontal component of the airplane's speed.

So 300cos75° mph + (-25 mph) = 77.646 - 25 = 52.646 mph.

The vertical component of its speed is 300sin75° since that's the only horizontal motion of the airplane. So the resultant vertical component of the airplane's speed is 300sin75° = 289.778 mph

The direction of the plane, Ф = tan⁻¹(vertical component of speed/horizontal component of speed)

Ф = tan⁻¹(289.778 mph/52.646 mph)

Ф = tan⁻¹(5.5043)

Ф = 79.7°

Answer:

m = \frac{-y+x}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

2m - x + 3y = 2y

Take -x and +3y on the other side of the equal to sign:

2m = 2y +x-3y

Now solve for y:

2m = -y +x

Take 2 one the other side of the equation:

m = \frac{-y +x}{2}

Hope this helps :)

What is the measure of each angle of a regular pentagon? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
adelina 88 [10]

Answer: Find the measures of an exterior angle and an interior angle given the number of sides of each regular polygon. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. 24 b 15, 345 24, 156 7.5, 172.5 15, 165​

Step-by-step explanation:  sum, S, of the measure of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is: ... The sum of the interior angles of a 24 -gon is 3960. ... angles of a polygon is (n−2)⋅180 , where n is the number of sides. ... Each exterior angle measures 36024=15 . ... The sum of the 24 interior angles is then 24⋅165=3960 .

Find the exact value of each expression, if it defined. ( if answer is undefined, enter undefined) tan (-1)
Triss [41]

Answer:

tan(-1) \approx -0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

tan(-1)

The tangent of -1 is defined, it's around -0.02.

The tangent is a trigonometric function with a period of \pi, where each period is separated by a vertical asymptote which indicates that the function is not determined through all its domain, that's what the question refers to when it says "if is undefined, enter undefined".

However, at x=-1, the tangent is determined, that means, there's no asymptote on that coordinate, that's why it has a "determined value", which is -0.02 approximately.

tan(-1) \approx -0.02
