Answer:the plane in still air is 904 km/h

the rate of the wind is 104 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate or speed of the plane in still air.

Let y represent the rate or speed of the wind.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 4000 kilometers in 5 hours. This means that the total speed of the airplane would be (x - y) km/h

Distance = speed × time

Therefore

4000 = 5(x - y)

4000 = 5x - 5y - - - - - - - - -1

Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 5040 kilometers in 4 hours. This means that the total speed of the airplane would be (x + y) km/h. Therefore,

5040 = 4(x + y)

5040 = 4x + 4y - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

16000 = 20x - 20y

20160 = 20x + 20y

Subtracting, it becomes

- 4160 = - 40y

y = - 4160/-40

y = 104

Substituting y = 104 into equation 1, it becomes

4000 = 5x - 5 × 104

4000 = 5x - 520

5x = 4000 + 520

5x = 4520

x = 4520/5 = 904

First, let's convert X into 4

(3*4 - 4)ft,  (4*2 - 1)ft, (2*4*2 - 15)ft

Now lets simplify this a little

(12 - 4)ft, (8 - 1)ft, (16 - 15)ft

Awesome now lets finish up

8 x 9 x 1   /  2 = 36

The answer should be 36ft. Unless I did my math wrong.

The graph below shows the distance, y, in miles, of a bird from its nest for a certain amount of time, x, in minutes:
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

0.2 miles per minute represents the speed of the bird and 3 miles represents the original distance of the bird from its nest.

Step-by-step explanation:

As there is no graph mentioned here but the information are quite sufficient to answer the question.

We have points (0,3), (5,4),(10,5)...

From these points we can find the slope of the line .

From point slope formula y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

And assigning (x,y) (0,3) and (x_1,y_1) (5,4)

m=\frac{y_1-y}{x_1-x} =\frac{4-3}{5-0} =\frac{1}{5}=0.2

This slope is also the speed of the bird which is 0.2\ miles\ per\ minute.

As by plugging the values of any coordinate point we can confirm this.

Lets put (10,5), y-axis is the distance so in 10 minutes the the distance covered by the bird must be equal to to y-axis value which is 5 miles.

y=0.2(x),y=0.2(10)=5\ miles

Now as in t=0 the bird has started from y-intercept value 3 so we can say that,the original distance of the bird from its nest is 3\ miles.

So the correct choices are:B and D

The birds speed is 0.2\ miles per minute and is 3\ miles away from its nest.

A set of average city temperatures in December are normally distributed with a mean of 16.3 C and a
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

z  value of 14.9  = (16.3 - 14.9) / 2

= 0.7

= .7580

z  value of 12.9  = (16.3 - 12.9) / 2

= 1.7

=.9554

Required probability = .9554 - .7580

= .1974

or 19.74 % .
