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.

Nine times the input minus seven is equal to the output.Which of the following equations describe this function?
arsen [322]

Consider the function y = f (x), the element 'x' is the input of the function, and 'y' is the value of the function or the output.

Now, we have to determine the equation for " Nine times the input minus seven is equal to the output"

Since, the input of the function refers to the variable 'x' and output of the function refers to the variable 'y'.

The required equation is:

( 9 \times x)-7 = y

So, 9x-7 = y

Therefore, 9x-7=y is the required equation.

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.

Gretchen is using an overhead projector to enlarge a drawing so she can make a poster. The original drawing measures 60 mm wide
podryga [215]
So 60 by 80,
60 <80 so 60=width
she moves it so that width=300
findn height

60:300=80:x
60/300=80/x
muliplyb oth sides by x
60x/300=80
x/5=80
mulitpliy both sides by 5
x=400

the height=400 mm

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

A.) 126°

Step-by-step explanation:

180-54=126

A straight line equals 180°

So you can subtract 180° by the known angle to find the unknown angle.
