Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If a/b is equal to 5/3 then a= 5 and b= 3

3a is equal to 3 times a which is equal to 3*5

3 times 5 is 15 so 3a=15

a plane flying with the wind travels 630 mi in 1.5hrs. Flying against the wind , the plane travels 1120 mi in 4hrs. Find the rat

Flauer [41]

$\bf \begin{cases}
r=\textit{rate of the plane}\\
w=\textit{rate of the wind}\\
\end{cases}
\\\\

\begin{array}{ccccllll}
&distance&rate&time(hrs)\\
&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
\textit{with wind}&630&r+w&1\frac{1}{2}\\
\textit{against wind}&1120&r-w&4
\end{array}
$

$\bf thus \begin{cases}
630=(r+w)1\frac{1}{2}\to 630=(r+w)\frac{3}{2}
\\\\
1120=(r-w)4\\
--------------\\
630=(r+w)\frac{3}{2}\implies 630\cdot \frac{2}{3}=r+w\\
420=r+w\implies \boxed{420-w}=r\\
--------------\\
thus\\
--------------\\
1120=(r-w)4\implies 1120=4r-4w
\\\\
1120=4(\boxed{420-w})-4w
\end{cases}
$

solve for "w", to find the wind's speed rate,

so hmmm what's the plane's rate? well 420 - w = r :)

A quadrilateral has vertices a(-4 -8) b (-2, 34) c(6,12 and d (10, -30). It undergoes the transformation (x,y) to (x/2,y/2).

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

scale factor:

1/2

the coordinates of the new vertices are

A (-4/2, -8/2)

A:(-2, -4)

B (-2/2, 34/2)

B: (-1, 17)

C (6/2, 12/2)

C:(3, 6)

D (10/2, -30/2)

D:(5, -15)

I guess the dilation is 2 times bigger?

Which pyramid has a greater volume, and how much greater is its volume? A rectangular pyramid on the left with a base of 7 inche

Nonamiya [84]

The volume of the pyramid on the left is greater by 8 inches cubed

We have given that,

A rectangular pyramid on the left with a base of 7 inches by 6 inches and a height of 3 inches.

A rectangular pyramid on the right with a base of 4 inches by 3 inches and a height of 10 inches.

The volume of the pyramid on the left is greater by 2 inches cubed. The volume of the pyramid on the left is greater by 6 inches cubed.

The equation for finding the volume of a pyramid is,

<h3>What is the volume of a pyramid?</h3>

lwh/3

when you input the values of the two pyramids into this equation you get the left pyramid having a volume of 128 inches cubed and the right pyramid having a volume of 120 inches cubed.

Therefore, 128 - 120 = 8

When this polynomial is divided by (x+3) , the remainder is 0. What is the value of the polynomial’s constant term.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

- 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) divided by (x + h) then the remainder is the value of f(- h)

Here

f(x) = 3x³ - 5x² - 47x + k ← k is the constant term , then

f(- 3) = 3(- 3)³ - 5(- 3)² - 47(- 3) + k = 0 , that is

3(- 27) - 5(9) + 141 + k = 0

- 81 - 45 + 141 + k = 0

15 + k = 0 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

k = - 15
