Suppose a river flows south to north at a velocity of 1 m/s, and a motorboat traverses the river from east to west at a speed of 2.5 m/s. At what angle should the boat be oriented south, relative to the westward direction, such that the boat will be traveling due west? Round to the nearest degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

River is flowing from south to North with a velocity of

Motor boat traverses the river from east to west at a speed of

South component of boat velocity must compensate the river velocity in order to travel in west direction.

∠cbe and ∠deb are same-side interior angles.

i took the test

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
