Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the car be "X". From 3 am until 1 pm (10 hours), the car will travel 10*X miles. 

The speed of the airplane is (X +200). From 11 am until 1 pm (2 hours), the plane will travel 2*(X+200). 

The distance travelled is the same, so: 

10*X = 2*(x+200)= 2x+400 

Subtract 2*X from both sides: 

8*X = 400

X = 400/8 = 50 mph.

The sum of two numbers is x. If one of the numbers is 12, what is the other ?
Vlad1618 [11]
If the sum of two numbers is x

Then the equation is like this:

a+b = x

Then it says one of the number is 12. Change either a or b into 12

12 + b =x

If we want to find the other number, we need the make it into the subject

b = x - 12

Hope that help.

Let alpha and beta be conjugate complex numbers such that frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} is a real number and alpha - \beta| = 2 \sqrt{3}
miskamm [114]

Answer:

-3+i\sqrt{3} , 1+\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that alpha and beta be conjugate complex numbers

such that frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} is a real number and alpha - \beta| = 2 \sqrt{3}.

Let

\alpha = x+iy\\\beta = x-iy

since they are conjugates

\alpha-\beta = x+iy-(x-iy)\\= 2iy= 2i\sqrt{3} \\y =\sqrt{3}

\frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} }\\=\frac{x+i\sqrt{3} }{(x-i\sqrt{3})^2} \\=\frac{x+i\sqrt{3}}{x^2-3-2i\sqrt{3}} \\=\frac{x+i\sqrt{3}((x^2-3+2i\sqrt{3}) }{(x^2-3-2i\sqrt{3)}(x^2-3-2i\sqrt{3})}

Imaginary part of the above =0

i.e. \sqrt{3} (x^2-3)+2x\sqrt{3} =0\\x^2+2x-3=0\\(x+3)(x-1) =0\\x=-3,1

So the value of alpha = -3+i\sqrt{3} , 1+\sqrt{3}

Golf balls come in a variety of packages. A particular brand of golf balls come in packages of 12 or in packages of 18. The 12-p
Fantom [35]

Answer:

The better deal is the 12 pack because the unit price is $0.37 which is lower than the unit price of the 18 pack that is $0.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which is the better deal, you have to determine which one offers a lower unit price by dividing the price of each package by the number of balls in the pack:

$4.47/12=$0.37

$14.46/18=$0.80

According to this, the answer is that the better deal is the 12 pack because the unit price is $0.37 which is lower than the unit price of the 18 pack that is $0.80.
