Question

A plane travels 2,000 kilometers at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour (kph) with no wind. when a tailwind is present, the plane’s speed increases by x kilometers per hour. the time it takes the plane to travel the same distance with the tailwind, t(x), is defined by the function . what is the meaning of the y-intercept for this function? the time it takes the plane to travel without the tailwind the speed of the plane when there is no tailwind present the minimum amount of time it takes the plane to travel 2,000 km the time it takes the plane to travel when the speed is decreased by 900 kph

Answer 1

The meaning of the y-intercept exists in the time required for the plane to cover 2,000 kilometers at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour (kph) with no wind.  $2 \frac{2}{9}$ hours required for the plane to cover 2,000 kilometers at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour with no wind.

What is the meaning of the y-intercept for the function$t(x)=\frac{2,000}{900}+x$?

The time it takes the plane to travel 2,000 kilometers with the tailwind, t(x), exists determined by the function

$t(x)=\frac{2,000}{900}+x$

where x exists the increase in speed when the plane travels with the wind (tailwind).

The y-intercept exists at x=0, then

$&t(0)=\frac{2,000}{900}+x$

$&t(0)=\frac{20}{9}=2 \frac{2}{9}$ hours

$2 \frac{2}{9}$ hours required for the plane to cover 2,000 kilometers at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour with no wind.
