an airplane can travel 550 mph in still air. if it travels 3498 miles with the wind in the same length of time it travels 3102 m

iles against the wind, what is the speed of the wind?

Answer:

The 20 mph headwind slows the plane down. This is because the headwind comes at the head of the plane and goes in the opposite direction of the plane.

So the plane's actual speed (with the wind included) is 550-20 = 530 mph.

Answer:

3 solutions:

$\theta={0, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first of all, we need to figure the angles that cannot be included in our answers out. The only function in the equation that isn't defined for some angles is $tan(\frac{\theta}{2})$ so let's focus on that part of the equation first.

We know that:

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{sin(\frac{\theta}{2})}{cos(\frac{\theta}{2})}$

therefore:

$cos(\frac{\theta}{2})\neq0$

so we need to find the angles that will make the cos function equal to zero. So we get:

$cos(\frac{\theta}{2})=0$

$\frac{\theta}{2}=cos^{-1}(0)$

$\frac{\theta}{2}=\frac{\pi}{2}+\pi n$

or

$\theta=\pi+2\pi n$

we can now start plugging values in for n:

$\theta=\pi+2\pi (0)=\pi$

if we plugged any value greater than 0, we would end up with an angle that is greater than $2\pi$ so, that's the only angle we cannot include in our answer set, so:

$\theta\neq \pi$

having said this, we can now start solving the equation:

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=sin(\theta)$

we can start solving this equation by using the half angle formula, such a formula tells us the following:

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{1-cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}$

so we can substitute it into our equation:

$\frac{1-cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}=sin(\theta)$

we can now multiply both sides of the equation by $sin(\theta)$

so we get:

$1-cos(\theta)=sin^{2}(\theta)$

we can use the pythagorean identity to rewrite $sin^{2}(\theta)$ in terms of cos:

$sin^{2}(\theta)=1-cos^{2}(\theta)$

so we get:

$1-cos(\theta)=1-cos^{2}(\theta)$

we can subtract a 1 from both sides of the equation so we end up with:

$-cos(\theta)=-cos^{2}(\theta)$

and we can now add $cos^{2}(\theta)$

to both sides of the equation so we get:

$cos^{2}(\theta)-cos(\theta)=0$

and we can solve this equation by factoring. We can factor $cos(\theta)$ to get:

$cos(\theta)(cos(\theta)-1)=0$

and we can use the zero product property to solve this, so we get two equations:

Equation 1:

$cos(\theta)=0$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(0)$

$\theta={\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}}$

Equation 2:

$cos(\theta)-1=0$

we add a 1 to both sides of the equation so we get:

$cos(\theta)=1$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(1)$

$\theta=0$

so we end up with three answers to this equation:

$\theta={0, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}}$

It’s actually B Bc the little 1 by the 10 is meaning that you are gonna multiply 10x10 one time. Then multiply by 7. 10x10=100 100x7=700 so there for your answer is B
