<u>Answer:</u>

The speed of plane is 875 km/h and speed of wind is 125 km/hr

<u>Explanation: </u>

Assuming v the speed of plane and w the speed of wind

Then, the overall speed will be given as (v+w)

The speed is calculated by the formula;

$\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Time }}$

For tailwind, given distance travelled is 3000 km in 3 hrs

Putting the values in the formula;

(v+w) =  $\frac{3000}{3}$

(v+w) = 1000              ……eqn (1)

Similarly, for headwind, given distance travelled is 3000 km in 4 hrs

(v-w) =  $\frac{3000}{4}$

(v-w) = 750   ……eqn (2)

Adding (1) and (2), we get

2v = 1750

v = 875 km/hr

putting value in eqn (1), we get: w = 125  km/hr

Therefore, the speed of plane is 875 km/h and speed of wind is 125 km/hr.

Maggie's brother is 3 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 62. How old is Maggie? Maggie is years old
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Maggie is 13 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

1M + 1B = 62

rearrange to get:

1B = 62 - 1M

4M - 3 = 1B

substitute B with 62 - 1M so there is only one variable. this gives:

4M - 3 = 62 - 1M

Get all the variables on one side:

4M + 1M - 3 = 62

Get all non variables on the other side:

4M + 1M = 62 + 3

simplify:

5M = 65

Divide both sides by 5 to get the M by itself:

M = 13.

BONUS:

M + B = 62

B = 49

So her brother is 49 years old.

Maggie is 13 years old.

Let f(x,y,z) = ztan-1(y2) i + z3ln(x2 + 1) j + z k. find the flux of f across the part of the paraboloid x2 + y2 + z = 3 that li
Sophie [7]
Consider the closed region V bounded simultaneously by the paraboloid and plane, jointly denoted S. By the divergence theorem,

\displaystyle\iint_S\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm dS=\iiint_V\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV

And since we have

\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)=1

the volume integral will be much easier to compute. Converting to cylindrical coordinates, we have

\displaystyle\iiint_V\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV=\iiint_V\mathrm dV
=\displaystyle\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=1}\int_{z=2}^{z=3-r^2}r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta
=\displaystyle2\pi\int_{r=0}^{r=1}r(3-r^2-2)\,\mathrm dr
=\dfrac\pi2

Then the integral over the paraboloid would be the difference of the integral over the total surface and the integral over the disk. Denoting the disk by D, we have

\displaystyle\iint_{S-D}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS=\frac\pi2-\iint_D\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS

Parameterize D by

\mathbf s(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf j+2\,\mathbf k
\implies\mathbf s_u\times\mathbf s_v=u\,\mathbf k

which would give a unit normal vector of \mathbf k. However, the divergence theorem requires that the closed surface S be oriented with outward-pointing normal vectors, which means we should instead use \mathbf s_v\times\mathbf s_u=-u\,\mathbf k.

Now,

\displaystyle\iint_D\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS=\int_{u=0}^{u=1}\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}\mathbf f(x(u,v),y(u,v),z(u,v))\cdot(-u\,\mathbf k)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du
=\displaystyle-4\pi\int_{u=0}^{u=1}u\,\mathrm du
=-2\pi

So, the flux over the paraboloid alone is

\displaystyle\iint_{S-D}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS=\frac\pi2-(-2\pi)=\dfrac{5\pi}2
