Answer:

490mph and 510mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph and x+20 mph be the speeds of the planes. The rate at which their distance from each other increases will be the sum of their speeds which is 2x+20 mph.

Their distance from each other after three hours is ( 1.5 hours)*(2x+20 mph) = 3x+30 miles. We are given that this is 1500 miles so we can solve for x.

3x+30 = 1500

3x = 1500 - 30

3x = 1470

x = 1470/3

x = 490mph

For the second jet :

x +20 = 490+20

x = 510

Thus the speeds of the two planes are 490 mph and 510mph.

Name two points that are reflections of each other across the y-axis.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(1,1), (-1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To reflect a point over the x-axis, simply make its x-value negative. So, we can take the sample point of (1,1), make its x-value negative, and get (-1,1).

Find the centroid of the region bounded by the given curves y=8sin(4x), y=8cos(4x)
Luba_88 [7]
A cosine is just a sine shifted to the left by π/2. A cosine of 4x is shifted to the left by only π/8 because of the factor 4. Sketch them.

The region we're looking for is this sausage-shaped part between the cos and the sin.

The x intercepts are at π/8 for the cosine and π/4 for the sine. The midpoint between them is at (π/8 + π/4)/2 = 3/16π.

The region is point symmetric around the x axis, so the y coordinate of the centroid is 0.

So the centroid is at (3/16π, 0)

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x-4)≥6x+2​
Sophie [7]

Answer:

 x <= - 4 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-4) ≥ 6x+2​

Distributive property

3x - 12 ≥ 6x+2​

-12 ≥ 3x + 2

re-write

3x + 2 <= -12

3x <= -14

 x <= -14/3

 x <= - 4 2/3
