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°

Solve for x -6 >_ 10 - 4x
Otrada [13]

We are given this inequality,

-6\geq10-4x

We will follow these steps to solve it:

Step 1:

First let us bring 10 to the left side.

10 is in addition on right, so we apply opposite operation of addition that is subtracting 10 from left side, we get

-6-10\geq-4x

-16\geq-4x

Step 2:

Next we have to eliminate -4 which is in multiplication with x on the right side.

So applying opposite operation of multiplication that is dividing both sides by -4.

We have to consider here that when we divide or multiply with a negative the sign of inequality reverses, that is ≥ becomes ≤ and vice versa.

\frac{-16}{-4}\leq x

x≥4

Answer is last option x≥4.
