Coby and Christina are sailing a boat and get caught in rough weather. They begin sailing at a speed of 7 miles per hour at an angle of 45 degrees. At that moment, the current and the wind both begin to push the sailboat. The current has a speed of 5.6 miles per hour at an angle of 240 degrees. The wind as a vector could be written as -35i+65j in miles per hour. What direction do they end up sailing in? Write your answer in degrees and round to 2 decimal places. Leave your answer in exact form until the final step.

Zha begins 7 kilometers to the north of town, and rides his bike along a straight trail which leads to a park 3 kilometers west of town. He takes 20 minutes to cover this distance. • Write a vector in component form describing Zha's bike ride. • Find the magnitude and direction of this vector. • Find the component of Zha's motion which is in the direction "southwest". (Use a unit vector to represent this direction.) Use both forms of the dot product (algebraic and geometric) to compute this, and compare to be sure you get the same answer both ways.
