Which of the following is the best estimate of the direction of the given vector?

The direction of the given vector is 45° N of W

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the four directions with the four quadrants

- The four directions are:

# North which represented by the positive part of y-axis

# South which represented by the negative part of y-axis

# East which represented by the positive part of x-axis

# West which represented by the negative part of y-axis

∴ The first quadrant is between the East and the North

∴ The second quadrant is between the West and the North

∴ The third quadrant is between the West and the South

∴ The fourth quadrant is between the East and the South

* The direction of any vector is tan Ф, where Ф is the angle between

 the vector and the x-axis, then:

- The direction of North of East is 45° ⇒ first quadrant

- The direction of North of West is 45° ⇒ second quadrant

- The direction of South of West is 45° ⇒ third quadrant

- The direction of South of East is 45° ⇒ fourth quadrant

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The direction of the vector is between the North and the West

  (its vertex in the second quadrant)

∴ Its direction is 45° North of West

* The direction of the given vector is 45° N of W

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
