From the two statements we can say:

260=(215+w)t

t=260/(215+w)

Now from the second statement:

170=(215-w)t

t=170/(215-w)

We are told that t=t, for the downwind and upwind equations so:

260/(215+w)=170/(215-w)  

260(215-w)=170(215+w)

55900-260w=36550+170w

-430w=-19350

w=45

So the wind speed is 45mph.

A fourth-order polynomial passes through the five points for which the independent and dependent variables, x and y, respectivel
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The fourth-order polynomial that passes through the points is P(x)=2x^4+x^3+3x^2+2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

A fourth-order polynomial has this general form:

P(x)=ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e

We need to replace the given points one by one, which leads to a system of 5 equations and 5 variables (namely a,b,c,d,e)

37=a(-2)^4+b(-2)^3+c(-2)^2+d(-2)+e\\7=a(-1)^4+b(-1)^3+c(-1)^2+d(-1)+e\\5=a(0)^4+b(0)^3+c(0)^2+d(0)+e\\13=a(1)^4+b(1)^3+c(1)^2+d(1)+e\\61=a(2)^4+b(2)^3+c(2)^2+d(2)+e

We can rewrite this system as follows:

16a-8b+4c-2d+e=37\\a-b+c-d+e=7\\e=5\\a+b+c+d+e=13\\16a+8b+4c+2d+e=61

We can use the Gaussian Elimination to solve this system of equations. To use the Gaussian Elimination we need to express the system of linear equations in matrix form (the matrix equation Ax = b).

The coefficient matrix (A) for the above system is

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}16&-8&4&-2&1\\1&-1&1&-1&1\\0&0&0&0&1\\1&1&1&1&1\\16&8&4&2&1\end{array}\right]

the variable matrix (x) is

\left[\begin{array}{c}a&b&c&d&e\end{array}\right]

and the constant matrix (b) is

\left[\begin{array}{c}37&7&5&13&61\end{array}\right]

The augmented matrix for this system, it is obtained by appending the columns of the coefficient matrix and the constant matrix.

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}16&-8&4&-2&1&37\\1&-1&1&-1&1&7\\0&0&0&0&1&5\\1&1&1&1&1&13\\16&8&4&2&1&61\end{array}\right]

The augmented matrix can be transformed by a sequence of elementary row operations to the reduced row echelon form.

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc|c}1&0&0&0&0&2\\0&1&0&0&0&1\\0&0&1&0&0&3\\0&0&0&1&0&2\\0&0&0&0&1&5\end{array}\right]

Therefore the solutions are:

\left\begin{array}{c}a=2&b=1&c=3&d=2&e=5\end{array}\right

And the polynomial P(x) is:

P(x)=2x^4+x^3+3x^2+2x+5

We can check our solution plotting the polynomial and checking that it passes through the points.
