A plane traveled 4575 miles with the wind in 7.5 hours and 4275 miles against the wind in the same amount of time. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the
speed of the wind.
The speed of the plane in still air is mph. (Simplify your answer.)
The speed of the wind is mph. (Simplify your answer.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of the plane in still air is 590 mph

The speed of the wind is 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

x = Speed of the plane in still air

y = Speed of the wind

The plane traveled d=4575 miles with the wind in t=7.5 h. The speed calculated with this data corresponds to the sum of the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind, thus:

[tex]\displaystyle x+y=\frac{4575}{7.5}=610[/tex]

x + y = 610        [1]

The plane traveled 4275 miles in 7.5 hours against the wind, thus the speed calculated is x - y:

[tex]\displaystyle x-y=\frac{4275}{7.5}=570[/tex]

x - y = 570        [2]

Adding [1] and [2]:

2x = 610 + 570 = 1180

x = 1180 / 2 = 590

From [1]:

y = 610 - 590 = 20

The speed of the plane in still air is 590 mph

The speed of the wind is 20 mph

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

side lengths are not proportional6, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The triangles are not similar because the ratios of side lengths are not the same:

  3 : 4 : 5 ≠ 6 : 7 : 8

__

2. We can make the ratios be the same by multiplying the side lengths by a common value, such as 2:

  3 : 4 : 5 = 6 : 8 : 10

If triangle B had side lengths of 6, 8, 10, then it would be similar to triangle A.

This question is about derived function.

Answers

Answer:

as

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(1-x+\frac{x^2}{1}+x-x^2\right)=0[/tex]

so

[tex]y'=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

[tex]y=\:1-x+\frac{x^2}{1}+x-x^2[/tex]

Taking derivative

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(1-x+\frac{x^2}{1}+x-x^2\right)[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^2}{1}\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^2\right)[/tex]

as

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right)=0[/tex]         ∵ [tex]\mathrm{Derivative\:of\:a\:constant}:\quad \frac{d}{dx}\left(a\right)=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)=1[/tex]          ∵ [tex]\mathrm{Apply\:the\:common\:derivative}:\quad \frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)=1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^2}{1}\right)=2x[/tex]      ∵ [tex]\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Power\:Rule}:\quad \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^a\right)=a\cdot x^{a-1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)=1[/tex]          ∵ [tex]\mathrm{Apply\:the\:common\:derivative}:\quad \frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)=1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^2}{1}\right)=2x[/tex]      ∵ [tex]\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Power\:Rule}:\quad \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^a\right)=a\cdot x^{a-1}[/tex]

substituting all the values in the expression      

[tex]=\frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^2}{1}\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^2\right)[/tex]

[tex]=0-1+2x+1-2x[/tex]

[tex]=0[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(1-x+\frac{x^2}{1}+x-x^2\right)=0[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]y'=0[/tex]

AB = 6

a triangles angles add up to 180°

to find the measure of these angles we’ll write this equation:

and solve for x

2x + 40 = 180

2x = 140

x + (x - 3) = 21, where x is the number of marbles Geraldo has
Done
My Progress >

Answers

Answer:

x + (x-3) = 21

x + x - 3 = 21

2 x - 3 = 21

Explanation:

In this problem, let us first analyze the situation. It says here that Geraldo and Yan both had marbles of their own. The problem states that together, they have a total of 21 marbles. However, we know here from the problem that they have different number of marbles each. Geraldo seems to have lesser number of marbles than Yan. Yan have three marbles more than Geraldo.

We can write the equation starting from assigning the unknown.

We'll use x.

x is the number of marbles that Yan have.

if x is Yan's, then, we can say that x-3 is Geraldo's.

Put them together into the equation.

Yan's plus Geraldo's is equal to 21.

Substitute using the represented unknowns.

x + (x-3) = 21.

In solving, we can also rule out that:

x + x - 3 = 21

2 x - 3 = 21

2 x = 21 + 3

2 x = 24

x = 12

x - 3 = 9

Yan has 12 marbles

and Geraldo has 9 marbles.

Answer: X+(X-3)=21 or C

Explain how solving -7y > 161 is different from solving 7y > -161.

Answers

To solve -7y > 161, we divide both sides by -7 and we get y < -23. The inequality sign flipped because we divided both sides by a negative number.

To solve 7y > -161, we divide both sides by 7 and it leads to y > -23. The inequality sign does not flip in this case, because we are not dividing both sides by a negative number.

The similarities is that we end up with -23 on the right side, but the inequality signs are different.

Chris has a collection of dimes and quarters worth $4.25. If she has 22 coins total, how many quarters does she have?

Answers

Given:

Chris has a collection of dimes and quarters worth $4.25.

To number of coins = 22

To find:

The number of quarters.

Solution:

Let x be the number of dimes and y be the number of quarters.

Total coins : [tex]x+y=22[/tex]          ...(i)

we know that, 1 dime = $0.10 and 1 quarter = $0.25.

Total value : [tex]0.10x+0.25y=4.25[/tex]      ...(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 0.10 and subtract the result form (ii).

[tex]0.10x+0.25y-0.10(x+y)=4.25-0.10(22)[/tex]

[tex]0.10x+0.25y-0.10x-0.10y=4.25-2.20[/tex]

[tex]0.15y=2.05[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.15.

[tex]y=\dfrac{2.05}{0.15}[/tex]

[tex]y=13.6667[/tex]

Number of quarter cannot be a decimal value.

[tex]y\approx 17[/tex]

Therefore, the number of quarter is about 17.
