The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.

After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.

Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==>    A² + B² = C²

(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²

250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500

1,690,000 H² = 422,500

H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25

H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes

x^2=500^2+1200^2\\\\x^2=250000+1440000\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \ x^2=1690000\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \ x=1300\ [mph]\\\\the\ distance=650\ miles\\\\the\ speed= \frac{the\ distance}{the\ time} \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ 1300\ [mph]= \frac{650\ [miles]}{the\ time}\\\\the\ time= \frac{650}{1300} \ [hr]=0.5\ [hr]=30\ [min]\\\\Ans.\ after\ 30\ minutes.

Finding the inverse function for f(x)=1/x^2
Anna [14]

to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solve for "y".

\stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{x^2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{x=\cfrac{1}{y^2}}\implies y^2=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies y=\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{x}}\implies \stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}

In triangle DEF. DF = 16 and m<F = 45Find the length of a leg. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
kotegsom [21]
I'm ASSUMING this is a 45-45-90 right triangle and that DF is the hypotenuse.
With that said. Angle F = 45 means that angle  = 45 and angle E = 90 degrees.
There is only one rule for 45-45-90 right triangles:
 hypotenuse = √(2) * leg
Given the hyp = 16
16 = √(2) * leg
divide both sides by √(2)
16/√(2) = leg
Rationalize the denominator
16√(2)/(√(2)*√(2) =
(16√(2)) / 2 =
