A plane flies 720 miles with the wind in 3 hours. The return trip against the wind takes 4 hours. What is the speed of the wind

and the speed of the plane in still air?

Let p and w represent the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind, respectively.
.. speed = distance/time
.. p +w = 720/3 = 240
.. p -w = 720/4 = 180

Add the two equations to eliminate w.
.. 2p = 420
.. p = 210
.. w = p -180 = 30

The speed of the wind is 30 mph.
The speed of the plane in still air is 210 mph.

Please answer quickly I will give brainliest- Kelsey has a list of possible functions. Pick one of the g(x) functions below and
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

1. Behavior

The g(x) is large and positive when x is large and positive;

The g(x) is large and negative when x is large and negative.

2. y-intercept= -18

3. The zeros are: -3, -2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. End behavior:

To find this you have to know the leading coefficient of the variable with the highest degree, and whether the degree is even or odd.  

(x + 3) = x positive, coefficient 1

(x + 2) = x positive, coefficient 1

(x − 3)=  x positive, coefficient 1

The coefficient is 1*1*1= 1 = positive

There are 3 x, so it will be x^3= odd

The behavior for odd and positive will be:

g(x) is + ∞ when x=>+∞

g(x) is -∞ when x=>-∞

or

The g(x) is large and positive when x is large and positive;

The g(x) is large and negative when x is large and negative.

2. Y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of y when the graph touches the y-axis. The y-axis is located at x=0, so to find the y-intercept you need to put x=0 on the graph function. Some graphs can have two y-intercepts but the graph on the question only has one. The calculation will be:

y-intercept = g(0)= (0+3)(0+2)(0-3)

y-intercept = 3*2*-3

y-intercept= -18

3. Zeros

The zeros mean the value of x that will result as g(x) as zero. At this coordinate, the graph will touch the x-axis since g(0) is located on the x-axis. That is why this coordinate also called an x-intercept. The function is expressed as the product of three things. If any of them is 0, then the result will be 0. So we have 3 zeros

x_{1}+3=0

x_{1}=-3

x_{2} +2=0

x_{2}=-2

x_{3}-3=0

x_{3}=3

The zeros are: -3, -2 and 3

Find lim h→0 f(2+h)-f(2)/h if f(x)=x^2+x+1
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(2+h)-f(2)}{h}

\displaystyle\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(2+h)^2 + 2 + h + 1 - 2^2 - 2 - 1}{h}

\displaystyle\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{4 + 4h + h^2 + h - 4}{h}

\displaystyle\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{h^2 + 5h}{h}

\displaystyle\lim_{h \to 0} h + 5

= 5
