Answer:

Speed of the plane in still air: 779\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.

Windspeed: 100\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that x\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}} is the speed of the plane in still air, and that y\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}} is the speed of the wind.

  • When the plane is travelling against wind, the ground speed of this plane (speed of the plane relative to the ground) would be (x - y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.
  • When this plane is travelling in the same direction as the wind, the ground speed of this plane would be (x + y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.

The question states that when going against the wind (v = (x - y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}},) the plane travels 6111\; {\rm km} in 9\; {\rm h}. Hence, 9\, (x - y) = 6111.

Similarly, since the plane travels 7911\; {\rm km} in 9\; {\rm h} when travelling in the same direction as the wind (v = (x + y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}},) 9\, (x + y) = 7911.

Add the two equations to eliminate y. Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate x. Solve this system of equations for x and y: x = 779 and y = 100.

Hence, the speed of this plane in still air would be 779\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}, whereas the speed of the wind would be 100\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.

Boxes of sticky hands popsicles are 4.50. The supermarket is offering a 30% off coupon. What is the price with the coupon?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Included in your weekly circular should be free coupons, so coupons are free (disregarding the price you have to pay to live around the area)


if you want to know how much discount the coupon give you then

4.5*3/10=1.35
takes off $1.35

proportion method

30/100=x/4.5
3/10=x/4.5
cross multiply or ties both sides by 10*4.5
3*4.5=10x
13.5=10x
divide both sides by 10
1.35=x


discount of $1.35 (coupon saves you $1.35)

Answer:

g(x) = \frac{x+3}{x-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Given function is,

f(x) = x + 1

We have to find the value of g(x) if the composite function has been given as,

f[g(x)] = g(x) + 1 = \frac{2x}{(x-3)}

g(x) = \frac{2x}{(x-3)}-1

      = \frac{2x-(x-3)}{(x-3)}

      = \frac{(x+3)}{(x-3)}

Therefore, g(x) = \frac{x+3}{x-3} will be the answer.

Answer:   c) 286.5 in²

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

S.A.= 2π r · h

      = 2π (7.3/2) · 12.5

      = 2π (3.65) (12.5)

      = 286.5
