What is the angle above the x axis (i.e., "north of east") for a vector with components (15 m, 8 m)?

Answer:28.071
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
vector component is (15,8)
i.e. its x component is 15 from origin and y component is 8 m
So angle made by vector with x axis is
If you draw out the two components in a head-to-nose fashion, you will create a right angle triangle something like the picture, that is if I interpreted the information right (the way I interpreted it is 15m east and 8m north);
The dotted line represents the x-axis;
Θ represents the desired angle;
Using trigonometry, we can create and solve an equation to get the angle (Θ);
In this case, you can use use sin or cos, I'll go with sin:
SinΘ = opp/hyp
SinΘ = 8/15
Θ = Sin⁻¹(8/15)
= 32.23.... ⇒ 32.2°

Answer:
1. Western erodes 2 ft/yr; Dunes builds up at 5 ft/yr
2. Sometime in 2006
3. Solve simultaneous equations
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Erosion patterns
(a) Western Beach
In 15 yr, Western Beach erodes from 100 ft to 70 ft.
The rate of erosion is 30 ft/15 yr = 2 ft/yr.
(b) Dunes Beach
In 15 yr, Dunes Beach builds up from 20 ft to 95 ft.
The rate of buildup is 75 ft/15 yr = 5 ft/yr.
2. Beaches with equal width
From the table, it appears that the beaches will have the same width sometime in year 11 (2006).
3. Best approximation
The graph below also shows that it happens part way through year 11 (2006).
We could get an even better solution by calculating the equations of the two lines and solving the simultaneous equations.
Answer: Expected value of the daily cost of operating the machine is 235.264.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
E[x]= 0.96 repairs per day
And Var[x] = 0.96 repairs per day.
Hence, Expected value of the daily cost of operating the machine is 235.264.
