Answer:

The time of a commercial airplane is 280 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the speed of a commercial airplane

y ----> the speed of a jet plane

t -----> the time that a jet airplane takes from Vancouver to Regina

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

y=2x ----> equation A

The speed of a commercial airplane is equal to

x=1,730/(t+140) ----> equation B

The speed of a jet airplane is equal to

y=1,730/t -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

1,730/t=2(1,730/(t+140))

Solve for t

1/t=(2/(t+140))

t+140=2t

2t-t=140

t=140 minutes

therefore

The time of a commercial airplane is

t+140=140+140=280 minutes

Determine, to one decimal place, the length, width & height of the rectangular prism that would have the greatest volume, wi

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The length = The width = The height ≈ 5.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular pyramid, V = l × w × h

The surface area of the pyramid = 2 × l × h + 2 × w × h + 2 × l × w = 200

∴ l × h + w × h + l × w = 200/2 = 100

We have that the maximum volume is given when the length, width, and height are equal and one length is not a fraction of the other. Therefore, we get;

At maximum volume, l = w = h

∴ l × h + w × h + l × w = 3·l² = 100

l² = 100/3

l = 10/√3

Therefore, the volume, v = l³ = (10/√3)³

The length = The width = The height = 10/√3 cm ≈ 5.8 cm

What is the slope of the line given by the equation y=-7X?

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Slope = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Intercept form y = mx + b where m = slope

In this case y = - 7x, slope m = -7

Answer:

$\frac{3375}{512}$ or ≈6.59

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first begin by simplifying each of the numbers with exponents. Recall that in a fraction exponent, the numerator is the power, while the denominator is the root.

Take $25\frac{3}{2}$ for example. The '2' in the fraction means we must take the square of 25. √25 = 5.

The '3' in the fraction means we take the power, which means we must cube '5'.

5³ = 125. Therefore, $25\frac{3}{2}$ = 125. Use this process for the other numbers:

$25^{\frac{3}{2} } = 125\\243^{\frac{3}{5} } = 27\\16^{\frac{5}{4} } = 32\\ 8^{\frac{4}{3} } = 16$

The new fraction would look like:

$\frac{125 * 27}{32 * 16}$

Which simplifies to:

$\frac{3375}{512}$ or ≈6.59
