A large van has careened off the road into a ditch, and two tow trucks are attempting to winch it out. The cable from the first winch exerts a force of 900 lb, while the cable from the second exerts a force of 700 lb. Determine the angle of theta for the first truck that will bring the van directly out of the ditch and along the resultant.

17

step-by-step explanation:

51/3=17

thus 17 is your answer.

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
