An airplane flew 4 hours with a 25 mph tail wind. The return trip against the same wind took 5 hours. Find the speed of the airp

lane in still air. This similar to the current problem as you have to consider the 25 mph tailwind and headwind. Plane on outbound trip of 4 hours with 25 mph tailwind and return trip of 5 hours with 25 mph headwind Let r = the rate or speed of the airplane in still air. Let d = the distance
a. Write a system of equations for the airplane. One equation will be for the outbound trip with tailwind of 25 mph. The second equation will be for the return trip with headwind of 25 mph.
b. Solve the system of equations for the speed of the airplane in still air.

Answer:

r  = 225 Mil/h     speed of the airplane in still air

Step-by-step explanation:

Then:

d  is traveled distance   and r  the speed of the airplane in still air

so the first equation is for a 4 hours trip

as  d = v*t

d  =  4 *  ( r  + 25)    (1)          the speed of tail wind  (25 mil/h)

Second equation the trip back in 5 hours

d  =  5  * ( r  - 25 )    (2)

So we got a system of two equation and two unknown variables  d  and

r

We solve it by subtitution

from equation (1)     d  =  4r  + 100

plugging in equation 2

4r  + 100  = 5r -  125    ⇒   -r  =  -225     ⇒    r  = 225 Mil/h

And distance is :

d  =  4*r  +  100         ⇒ d  =  4 * ( 225)  +  100

d  =  900 +   100

d  = 1000 miles

Will the opposite of zero always sometimes never be be zero explain your reasoning
MissTica

always because the opposite of a positive is a negative, and the opposite of a positive is a negative. But zero is neither positive or negative, therefore is has no real opposite and is zero.

Graph the equation: x = y^2 - 2
Lesechka [4]
Draw a cartesian plane, create a graph with the equation x = y^2 - 2
then substitute numbers into the equation so that it is true, to find points on the graph, e.g. substitute y with 1, you get 
x = 1^2 - 2
x = 1 - 2 = -1, so when y = 1, x = -1, this point is (-1, 1)

for the next substitute y with 2,
x = 2^2 - 2
x = 4 - 2 = 2, the point is (2, 2)
you might want to try negative values of y 
y = -1, x = (-1)^2 - 2
x = -1 the point is (-1,-1)

then plot the points on the graph
