A flight from Boston to London only took 5 hours because of a strong tailwind. The flight back to Boston against the same wind took 6 hours. What was the speed of the wind if the speed of the plane in still air is 550 mph?

Answers

Answer 1

If the flight back to Boston against the same wind took 6 hours. The speed of the wind if the speed of the plane in still air is 550 mph is 50 mph.

How to find the speed of the plane?

Given data:

Boston to London = 5 hours

Flight back to Boston  = 6 hours

Still air = 550 mph

Using this formula

Speed (s) = Distance /Time

We need to formula an equation that will be used to find the speed

Equation: (550 + s)5 = (550 - s)6

So,

Let s represent the speed

(550 + s)5 = (550 - s)6

2750 +5s = 3300 - 6s

Collect like terms

6s +5s = 3300 - 2750

11s = 3300 - 2750

11s = 550

Divide both side by  11s

s= 550/11

s = 50mph

Therefore the speed of the plane is 50mph.

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the maximum height reached by the rocket, to the nearest tenth of a foot.
y=−16x^2+146x+137

Answers

Answer:

470.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a parabola that opens down, the maximum height is where the graph has a horizontal tangent line.

This is where the derivative=0

Since it is a parabola that opens down, we do not need to test the sides of the point where the derivative=0 as the vertex is a local maximum and the only point with a horizontal tangent.

y=[tex]-16x^2+146x+137[/tex]

y'=[tex]-32x+146[/tex]=0

-32x+146=0

x=[tex]\frac{146}{32}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{73}{16}[/tex] This is the x-coordinate of the vertex

Now plug this back into the original equation to find the maximum height.

f(73/16)=[tex]-16(\frac{73}{16})^2+146(\frac{73}{16} )[/tex]+137

=[tex]\frac{-73^2}{16} +666.125+137[/tex]

=-333.0625+666.125+137

Expand:

2t +2(4)= 7 +5t +5(-4)

2t +8= 7 +5t -20

2t +8= 5t -13

[tex]a_{14} = 10496[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is of the form:

[tex]ar^0, ar^1, ar^2, ar^3, \cdot \cdot \cdot[/tex]

So the given values can be represent as:

[tex]1. \quad ar^5 = \frac{41}{256}\\2. \quad ar^{10} = -164[/tex]

So you have a system of equations with two unknows [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]r[/tex]. Then you can find one unknow in terms of the other.

[tex]a = \frac{-164}{r^{10}}[/tex]

Now replace [tex]a[/tex] in the first equation

[tex]\frac{-164}{r^{10}}r^5 = \frac{41}{256}\\\frac{-164}{r^{5}} = \frac{41}{256}\\r^5 = \frac{256 \cdot -164}{41} = -\frac{41984}{41}\\r = \sqrt[5]{-\frac{41984}{41}}\\[/tex]

You don't have to worry about the negative number inside the root, because is a odd root then you can find odd negative numbers that give me the desire result.

[tex]r = -\frac{4\sqrt[5]{41} }{\sqrt[5]{41}} \\r = -4[/tex]

For find [tex]a[/tex] only replace [tex]r[/tex] in whatever of the two equations.

[tex]-a4^5 = \frac{41}{256}\\-a1024 = \frac{41}{256}\\a = -\frac{41}{262144}[/tex]

After find [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]r[/tex] use the next formula for find the [tex]14^{th}[/tex] term.

[tex]ar^{13} = x\\-\frac{41}{262144} \cdot -4^{13} = x\\\\10496 = x[/tex]

b. Write an equation of the line perpendicular to
x + 2y = 6 through (8,3).

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x + 13 or -2x + y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

1) I would convert x + 2y = 6 to y-intercept/slope-intercept form...

2y = -x + 6 - > y = -1/2x + 3

2) The slope of the line is -1/2. Perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope to the other line, so the slope is 2. Therefore your equation so far is...

y = 2x + b

3) The point that is given is (8, 3). This means that x = 8 and y = 3. Substitute that into the equation and solve for b (the y-intercept)

3 = 2(8) + b

3 = 16 + b

-13 = b

b = 13

4) Now, we know that b = 13 and the slope is 2. Therefore...

y = 2x + 13

Also note, if you want this equation in standard form, it would be...

-2x + y = 13

The Jupiter is 6.93 times farther  from the Sun than Venus

The Saturn is 6.29 times farther from the Sun than Mars

Distance between the sun and Jupiter = 748.02 million km

Therefore, the Jupiter is 6.93 times farther  from the Sun than Venus

Distance between the Sun and Saturn = 1.4823 billion km = 1482.3 million km

_ please answer this question .

Answers

Answer:

For the column "Slope Intercept", the graph is displaying y = -7/2x + 3. Because the line is going down 7 units and to the right 2 units, and the 3 is the point in which the line crosses the y-axis.

For the "Standard" column, it will be

7x + 2y = 6, because that's what it would look like in standard form. (To turn it from standard to slope intercept form, remember you must first subtract 7x on both sides to get 2y = -7x + 6, and then divide by 2 on both sides to get

y = -7/2x + 3.)

For column "Point Slope", I just realized you are supposed to pick a point on the line and plug the coordinates into this formula:⤵⤵⤵

This is the point-slope formula.⤵⤵⤵

[tex]y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1})[/tex]

For example we'll use point (2,-4). Also, remember that coordinates are written as (x,y), and that m represents slope.

So we have: y - (-4) = -7/2(x-2).

In other words, "Point Slope" would be

y + 4 = -7/2(x-2).

By the way, sorry this is a bit long, and took a while to complete. I had to re-educate myself on point-slope. Anyways hope this helps, I tried :)

The radius of a cycle wheel is 35 cm. Find the number of turns required to cover a distance of 1540 m

Answers

Answer:

1 I think can you make sure?

Use the information given to enter an equation in standard form.

(−1, 1) and (0, 2) .

Answers

First find the slope:

   m = ( 2 - 1 ) / ( 0 - (-1) ) = 1 / 1 = 1

Set up slope-intercept form:

  y = 1·x +2

Now move x and y to the left and leave 2 on the right:

  -x + y = 2

This is also equivalent to x - y = -2, so that just depends if you want your x coefficient to be positive or negative.

Answer:

Standard form: x - y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of linear equations is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers; A and B ≠ 0, and A is a non-negative integer.

Given the two points, we must first solve for the value of the slope.

Let (x₁, y₁) = (-1, 1)

    (x₂, y₂) = (0, 2)

Substitute these values into the following slope formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (2 - 1)/[0 - (-1)]

m = 1/(0 + 1) = 1

Therefore, the value of the slope, m = 1.

Next, we need to determine the y-intercept, which is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis.  The y-intercept is also the value of y when x = 0.  One of the given points happens to be the y-intercept, (0, 2). Its y-coordinate is the value of b in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. Substitute the slope and the y-intercept into the equation:

y = mx + b

y = x + 2

Next, we need to rewrite the slope-intercept form into its standard form, Ax + By = C:

y = x + 2

Subtract x from both sides:

- x + y = x - x + 2

-x + y = 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by -1, so that the coefficient of x becomes a positive integer:

(-1) (-x + y) = 2(-1)

x - y = -2  ⇒ This is the standard form where A = 1, B = -1, and C = -2

The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio of 5:6. If its longer side is 7.2 in., find the shorter side, the perimeter, and the area of this rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

The shorter side is 6.

The perimeter is 26.4 inches.

The area is 43.2 inches[tex]^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 5;6 and the given longer side is 7.2 in.

Since it is the longer side, the '6' in the ratio is 7.2 in.

Let x be the shorter side

5:6 = x : 7,2

Divide 7.2 to 6.

7.2 ÷ 6 = 1.2

Then multiply 1.2 to 5.

1.2 * 5 = 6

So the shorter side is 6.

L = 7.2

W = 6

Now to find the perimeter, let's use the formula

P = 2L + 2W

Let's put the values in the formula

P = 2(7.2) + 2(6)

P = 14. 4 + 12

P = 26.4

The perimeter is 26.4 inches

To find the area, let's use the formula

A = LW

A = (7.2)(6)

A = 43. 2 inches[tex]^{2}[/tex]

Answer:

p= 26.4
