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°

Given y = log3(x + 4), what is the domain?
dem82 [27]
For a logarithmic function, we have a restriction on the domain.
Since log(0) isn't defined, we say that there is an asymptote at x = 0.
Thus, for the regular logarithmic function y = log(x), x > 0.

We can then say (x + 4) > 0, since that's when the function of a logarithm is defined as.
x + 4 > 0
x > -4

Thus, the domain of the logarithmic function is x > -4, where x is a real integer.

∠XZY=30° ⇒

XY=\dfrac{1}{2} \times12=6

\text{By the Pythagorean theorem}\\YZ=\sqrt{12^2-6^2} =\sqrt{(12-6)(12+6)} =\sqrt{6\times18} =\sqrt{108} =6\sqrt{3}

Solve the equation <br>9-7x-7-7x=4
mafiozo [28]

Simplify 9 - 7x - 7x to 2 - 14x

2 - 14x = 4

Subtract 2 from both sides

-14x = 4 - 2

Simplify 4 - 2 to 2

-14x = 2

Divide both sides by -14

x = -2/14

Simplify 2/14 to 1/7

x = -1/7
