The total flying time for the round trip if there was no wind would be 2 hours 24 minutes. The result is obtained by using the elimination method.

<h3>What is elimination method?</h3>

The elimination method is a method for solving system of linear equations where we eliminate one variable so that we can get an equation in one variable. In doing that, we can either add or subtract the equations.

Given the case that an airplane takes 1 hour 30 minutes to fly 600 km against the wind. It takes only 1 hour in the return trip.

What would be the total flying time for the round trip if there was no wind?

Let's say:

  • v = the speed of the airplane
  • w = the speed of the wind

When the airplane leaves,

v - w = 600 km / 1.5 hour

v - w = 400 kph ... (<em>equation 1</em>)

When the airplane returns,

v + w = 600 km / 1 hour

v + w = 600 kph ... (<em>equation 2</em>)

We eliminate the equation 2 and 1 to get the speed of the airplane.

v - w = 400 kph

<u>v + w = 600 kph</u> +

2v = 1000 kph

v = 1000 ÷ 2

v = 500 kph

For the round trip, the airplane would fly 600 × 2 = 1200 km.

The total flying time if there was no wind would be

t = s/v

t = 1200/500

t = 2.4 hour

t = 2 hours 24 minutes

Hence, the  total flying time for the round trip if there was no wind is 2 hours 24 minutes.

If the balance at the end of eight years on an investment of $630 that has been invested at a rate of 9% is $1,083.60, how much
Contact [7]
The interest is $453.60.

The total amount includes principal + interest.  The principal was 630 and the total amount was 1083.60.
1083.60 - 630 = 453.60.

X^2+10x+19=0 complete the square PLEASE EXPLAIN
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

In the form ax^2+bx+c

a x c should equal two factors of b

However, in this equation

1 x 19 has no factors that = 10

so you must use the Quadratic Formula which is,

x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

so the answer should be

x = \frac{-10+-\sqrt{10^2-4(1)(19)} }{2(1)}

x = \frac{-10+-\sqrt{24} }{2}

x = \frac{-10+2\sqrt{6} }{2}      and    x = \frac{-10-2\sqrt{6} }{2}
