Length-and-distance/269609: In navigational terms, a bearing is defined as the number of degrees a direction is from due north clockwise. If a plane flying 120 mph has flown 1 hour at a bearing of 32°, how far has it flown in a horizontal direction?

Answer 197589 by Alan3354(31538) About Me  on 2010-02-14 20:04:27 (Show Source):

Horizontal is a bearing of 090º = due east
The angle with the horizontal is 90 - 32 = 58º
Horizontal distance = 120*cos(58)
=~ 63.59 miles
----------------
The terminology used is not good. Plane flight that is not vertical (changing in altitude) is horizontal, regardless of heading.

----------------
64 is more than 50
------------------
.16*50 = .13*x + .18*(50-x)
800 = 13x + 900 - 18x
-100 = -5x
x = 20 ml of 13%
30 ml of 18%

Thx for sharing. Do you have a question?


Equations/269564: (6/y+4)+1=(5/2y+8)
I thought that the next step would look like:
6(2y+8)+(y+4)(2y+8)=5(y+4) but the answer in the back of the book does not
correspond with this once I finish solving it.
The final answer should be -15/2.

6/y+4)+1=(5/2y+8)
I thought that the next step would look like:
6(2y+8)+(y+4)(2y+8)=5(y+4) but the answer in the back of the book does not
correspond with this once I finish solving it.
The final answer should be -15/2.
----------------
The DEN of the right side is 2x the one on the left.
-------------
6/y+4)+1=(5/2y+8)
Multiply all terms by the right side DEN 2y+8
12 + 2y+8 = 5
2y + 20 = 5
2y = -15
y = -15/2

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B18x%2B-4+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%2818%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-4=340.

Discriminant d=340 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28-18%2B-sqrt%28+340+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%2818%29%2Bsqrt%28+340+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+0.219544457292887
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%2818%29-sqrt%28+340+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-18.2195444572929

Quadratic expression 1x%5E2%2B18x%2B-4 can be factored:
1x%5E2%2B18x%2B-4+=+%28x-0.219544457292887%29%2A%28x--18.2195444572929%29
Again, the answer is: 0.219544457292887, -18.2195444572929. Here's your graph:
graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+1%2Ax%5E2%2B18%2Ax%2B-4+%29

There's no way to know, unless you mean the sum of the other 4.
If so, the sum of the angles of a polygon with 5 sides and 5 angles is 540º
The other 4 would add to 434º

PV = nRT
If only V and T vary:
V = kT

V = 0.2*(533/333) =~ 0.3201 cubic meters

A number consist of two digit whose sum is 5. When the digits are reversed, tne number becomes greater by 9.Find the number:
--------------
It has to be 14 or 23
It's 23
--------------
The difference when you reverse digits is always a multiple of 9.
1*9
2*9
3*9
4*9 etc
The multiplier of 9 is the difference between the digits.
eg, for 37, the difference is 4, so 4*9 will be the change when the digits are reversed.
-------------
For your problem, the multiplier of 9 is 1, so the difference between the digits is 1.
That makes the problem simpler:
---------------------------------
The sum of the digits is 5
The difference of the digits is 1
u + t = 5
u - t = 1
------------ Add
2u = 6
u = 3
t = 2
--> 23
-------------------
The long way:
10t + u = 10u + t - 9
t + u = 5
----------
9t - 9u = -9
t - u = -1
t + u = 5
2t = 4
t = 2
u = 3
--> 23
