Recall  your d = rt, distance = rate * time

so... let's say, the plane's speed in still air is "p", and the speed of the wind is "w".

when the plane is travelling with the wind over those 1000 miles, is really not going "p" fast, is going " p + w " fast, since it's going with the wind.

now, when the plane is travelling against the wind, is not going "p" fast either, is going " p - w " fast, since the wind is subtracting speed from it.

bearing in mind he cover the 1000 miles as well as the 880 miles in 2 hrs each way.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\textit{with the wind}&1000&p+w&2\\
\textit{against the wind}&880&p-w&2
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
1000=2(p+w)\\
\qquad 500=p+w\\
\qquad 500-p=\boxed{w}\\
880=2(p-w)\\
----------\\
\frac{880}{2}=p-w\\
440=p-\left( \boxed{ 500-p }\right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
940=2p\implies \cfrac{940}{2}=p\implies 470=p

what's the speed of the wind?  well, 500 - p = w.

Answer:

Range of the function → {24, 375}

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of the function f(x) = 3x³ is {2, 5}

we have to find the range when its domain is {2, 5}

Since x-values of any function define the domain and y-values define the range.

For x = 2,

f(2) = 3(2)³ = 24

For x = 5,

f(5) = 3(5)³ = 375

Therefore, range of the given function for the given domain will be {24, 375}.

Find r when (5)* r/3 = 125.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

5 to the power of 3 is 125, so since the denominator is 3 you need a  numerator that will simplify to 3.

9 divided by 3 equals 3, so your numerator will be 9.

Hope it helps!
