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.

Pepsi [2]

The larger number is (-7+14)/2 = 3.5.

The smaller number is (-7-14)/2 = -10.5.

_____

The two equations a+b=-7, a-b=14 can be solved to get these results. It is genrally convenient to solve them by adding one to the other, or subtracting one from the other.

What is the domain of g(x) = sqrt x +1
Shkiper50 [21]
There can be no negative in a sqrt 
so x+1 must be equal or greater then 0
x+1\geq 0
x \geq -1
so all answers must be greater then  or equal to -1
-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
(-1,infinity) is the domain
