Let x the maximum speed of the plane and y be the speed of the wind.

We know that:
1)Distance = speed x time
2) if the head wind is y, then the resulting speed is x-y (against the wind)
3) if the tail wind is y, then the resulting speed is x+y (with the wind)

1) and 2): 2400 = (x-y).(6) or 6x-6y = 2400

1) and 3): 2400 = (x+y).(5) or 5x+5y = 2400

Hence the system of 2 equation:

6x - 6y = 2400
5x + 5y = 2400.
Solving it gives  x = 440 mi/h and y = 40 mil/h
Then the speed of the plane with no wind is 440 km/h

Select the quadratic equation that has roots x=8 and x=-5
stellarik [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, x=8 and x=-5 are the roots.

Therefore, (x - 8) & (x - 5) will be factors.

Hence, required quadratic equation can be given as:

(x - 8)(x - 5) =0 \\  \\  \therefore  {x}^{2}  + ( - 8 - 5) x+ ( - 8) \times ( - 5) = 0 \\  \\ \therefore  {x}^{2}  + ( - 13) x+ 40= 0  \\  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore  {x}^{2}  - 13x+ 40= 0 }} \\ is \: the \: required \: quadratic \: equation.
