Answer:

The speed rate of the plane in still air is 1006.67 km/h

The speed rate of the wind is 246.67 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we let the speed of the plane in still air = x  km/h

Let the speed of the wind = y km/h

Therefore,

4560/(x - y) = 6 hours and

3720/(x + y) = 3 hours

4560 = 6·x - 6·y.........(1)

3720 = 3·x + 3·y ........(2)

Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and add to (1) gives

12080 = 12·x

x = 12080/12 = 1006\frac{2}{3} km/h

Substituting the value of x in (1) gives

4560 = 6040 - 6·y

6·y = 1480

y = 1480/6 =  246\frac{2}{3}

The speed rate of the plane in still air = 1006.67 km/h

The speed rate of the wind = 246.67 km/h.

Find the derivative of f(x) = 8x^2 + 11x at x = 7.
sleet_krkn [62]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Feel free to ask more questions.  

f′(x)=2∗(8x(2−1))+1∗11x(1−1)

which is

f′(x)=16x+11

then let x = 7 gives us

f′(7)=123

Find all points on the curve y = cos x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π, where the tangent line is parallel to the line y = -x.
andre [41]

Answer:

90⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

y=cosx

y'= -sinx

eqñ of tangent is y=-x

slope of tangent =-1

we know...

slope of tangent = y' or derivative of y

-sin x = -1

sin x= 1

x = 90⁰
