Answer:

Resultant speed = 12 km/h.

Bearing is 107.14 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be represented by a triangle of velocities with lengths 15 and 5 with the included angle = 45 degrees.

To find the velocity of the resultant  we use cosine rule:

v^2 = 15^2 + 5^2 - 2*5*15cos 45

v^2 = 143.934

v = 12.0 km/h to the nearest tenth.

To find the bearing we use the sine rule to find the angle down from due east>

12 / sin 45 = 5/ sin x

sin x =  5 sin 45 / 12 = 0.2946278

x = 17.14 degrees.

Bearing is therefore 90 + 17.14 = 107.14 degrees.

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule. A(n)=-6+(n-1)(1/5) A)-6,-5 1/5,
scoundrel [369]

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is given by relation as follows :

A(n)=-6+(n-1)\dfrac{1}{5}

For the first term, put n = 1. So,

A(1)=-6+(1-1)\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\A(1)=-6

For fourth term, put n = 4. So,

A(4)=-6+(4-1)\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\A(4)=\dfrac{-27}{5}\\\\A(4)=-5\dfrac{2}{5}

For tenth term, put n = 10. So,

A(10)=-6+(10-1)\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\A(10)=-6+\dfrac{9}{5}\\\\A(10)=\dfrac{-21}{5}\\\\A(10)=-4\dfrac{1}{5}

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Show me the steps to solve and the solution y-2>1/2(x-2)
aev [14]
<span>y-2>1/2(x-2) can be expanded as follows:  y - 2 > (1/2)x - 1

Mult. all terms by 2 to remove the fractions:

2y - 4 > x - 2

Add 4 to both sides:   2y > x + 2

Div. both sides by 2:    y > (1/2)x + 1   (answer)</span>

Answer:

The one that is on the bottom half and on the right side.

Step-by-step explanation:

(0,30) to (10,0)

Because the x value 0 represents the time in which the paint job started and ends in the value 10

While the y value 30 is the amount of paint he started with and ends with 0
