Apiling for a high-rise building is pushed by two bulldozers at exactly the same time. one bulldozer exerts a force of 1850 pounds in a westerly direction. the other bulldozer pushes the piling with a force of 3250 pounds in a northerly direction. what is the direction of the resulting force upon the piling, to the nearest degree?

330° (NWbN)  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate tan θ

tanθ = (3250/-1850) = -1.757

2. Calculate θ.

θ = tan⁻¹(-1.757) = -60.3°

3.Calculate the compass direction

Direction = 270 + 60.3 = 330°  

The direction of the force on the piling is 330° (NWbN)

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
