Before being put out of service, the supersonic jet Concorde made a trip averaging 120 mi/h less than the speed of sound for 0.1

h and 410 mi/h more than the speed of sound for 3.0 h. If the trip covered 3,990 mi, what is the speed of sound?

Answer:

894.19 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance of the trip = 3990 mi

Let the speed of the sound be 'x' miles per hour

Now,

Total distance = Speed × Time

Therefore,

According to the question

3,990 mi = [ ( x - 120 ) × 0.1 ] + [ ( x + 410 ) × 3.0 ]

or

3,990 mi = 0.1x - 12 + 3x + 1230

or

0.1x + 3x = 2772

or

3.1x = 2772

or

x = 894.19 mi/hr

Answer:

$\large\boxed{Q2.\qquad C.\ -2x+y=-2}\\\boxed{Q4.\qquad C.\ y=3x+12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Q2:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

m - slope

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (4, 6) and (6, 10). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{10-6}{6-4}=\dfrac{4}{2}=2$

$y-6=2(x-4)$ <em>use distributive property</em>

$y-6=2x-8$ <em>add 6 to both sides</em>

$y=2x-2$ <em>subteact 2 from both sides</em>

$-2x+y=-2$

Q4:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Put the slope m = 3 and the coordinateso f the point (-2, 6) to the point-slope form of an equation of a line:

$y-6=3(x-(-2))$

$y-6=3(x+2)$ <em>use distributive property</em>

$y-6=3x+6$ <em>add 6 to both sides</em>

$y=3x+12$

How do you do number 14?

Dimas [21]

Answer: 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

When three coins are flipped, we get 8 total outcomes: (HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT)

Two tails and one head is (HTT, TTH, THT)

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/ number of total outcomes

Number of Favorable outcomes = 3

Number of Total outcomes= 8

Therefore, probability of getting 2 tails and one head

= 3/8

The figure below is a square. Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a

Leokris [45]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

45 - 45 - 90 Triangles

When one leg = x, the hypotenuse = x $\sqrt{2}$

So, if the hypotenuse is 1, then divide by $\sqrt{2}$ to get the leg.

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ rationalize denominator.

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ × $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2} }$ = $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2} \sqrt{2} }$ = $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{4}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
